Default More points doesnt mean mature

I harvested this monster 5x5 2nd day of gun season, Fish and Game looked him over and estimated his age to 9 to 10 years old. This mature bull was regressing. His bases are 11 inches round and his neck was a massive 34 inches round.

Domt know yet havent scored him, thing is, I feel this is a bull of a life time. To be able to harvest a bull that has great age, I feel is the best animal you can get. Alot of people take younger bulls and dont give them a chance to pass on great jeans, for years to come.
