Agreed that is a super deceiving pic then.

Instagram vs reality

Has been about 15 years since tipped this bull over. Narrow. Beams not that long.









I think was 349" net. Or low 350s.

That right side royal tine is dead sexy.

I was a fledgling long armer 10 years ago. I thought this one was possibly 350 before I ended up getting him. His body size and antler mass was bigger than I expected and he was 370+ gross, 360+ net.

...those bases

 

[Hammsolo]

No guesses?

Pictures tricky and I suck at this. His third tine is awesome on the right, but then his royal looks short… I’ll go 317.

Bull I just took down from a very high spot on the wall in order to remove the stupid gold paint. Score? Any tips on getting rid of the spray paint?

Maybe you can just wrap the skull in Blue velvet?

Just looking to calibrate my eyes alittle better when field judging bulls.

Any who are willing, post any and all pictures either of harvested bulls with the score. Just trying not to be the guy throwing erroneous numbers around on the hill side.

Thanks in advance.

How was this hunt?

Awesome pictures to see, some of them would absolutely like to hear the story that goes along with them.

Here is a guesser pic. I call it "Double Grins and Double Chins".

Wow, great example of how hard it is to judge a bull on 1 photo. Love his bases, and that 3rd tune us a beauty. Gorgeous bull overall. You couldn’t see how nice his whale tails are in the other picture. You toying with us? From the hip… 372? I’m feeling less and less confident.

First number that popped in my head was 360. Feels low... I'm using your head as a measurement comparison , so give me the specs on that...LOL

Must've been the B&C hunter skull that skewed my perspective....nice bool Dink.

 

[The Hedgehog]

340 gross - 339 net. 1-1/8 total deduct and one inch of that was due to the bump between the 1st and second tine on the left circumference measurement.


Fact checking myself . Above not true but still a very symmetric set of antlers..

Pretty good guess. I have him at 362.
