What does he score?

We found this bull during a scouting trip and got some great video, but we never could agree on what he might score. We hoped to see him during the season and put him on the ground to find out for sure, but we never found him. What do you think?
Here is a link to the video.

Looking at that still, I was ready to say 350.
Then I clicked on the video, and every time his head moved, the number went up. I got all the way up to 380, but I'm going to subtract 5 for velvet shrinkage at come in at;

375.
 
He sure does have some nice 5ths and great width. Nice video by the way. That's cool.
 
Mid 370's for sure
Cool footage and thanks for sharing on these slow winter months
 
That mass might even put him up near the high 370's. He is a shooter in my book.

LAST EDITED ON Feb-15-11 AT 09:46AM (MST)[p]Very nice bull with good width and decent beam length, but because he's in the velvet he probably has less mass than what it appears. Therefore, I don't think he will score as high as some are saying. I'd guess in the 350s, which is still darn good even if I'm right.
 
The video emphasizes his great back and width but kind of hides his fronts which are weak, especially the g2's. 4ths are average at best. Hard to give him anything over 350.
 
i can't see much over 340, terrible fronts and 3rd's make a an average back end look really good. his beams aren't as long as one would believe here is how i get it

1st's 15, 16
2nd's 12, 11
3rd's 13, 13
4th's 17, 16
5th's 14, 14
extra points: 8 (very healthy guess to offset others)
Mass 55
Width 45
beams 48, 48
All up total: 345

Probably way off but what do i know....not much about these dang elk things...;-)

I agree with berry, except the length looks a little longer than 48 to me. I would put it in the low 350 range. Fronts all the way to the 3rds are pretty short. Still, a nice bull and I would not hesitate on taking it.
 
I think Berry has a very good guess. I did think he would be 50 inches on both sides..so 350 range
