I sure thought he is bigger than the guesses so far. My judging skills aren't the best, but I usually "under" judge than "over".
His second on his right side is close to 18" I think and his 4th on his left side is long. I guessed him in the 355 range and with his couple extra's, I gave him 10" with his two extra's. That puts him in the 365 range?

305? 315? You guys should pass on him so I can shoot him
If that bull doesn't break 360 I'd eat your hat. Not too often you see that kind of tine length. Using 15" from base of horn to tip of nose, he exceeds or is close to 20" all the way through except for his 5's. That's a great bull with a ton of character.

305 what the!
Look at the main beam length relative to his head, same with the fourths. I'll give him 4 or 5 more inches in point length and the same on beams both sides, maybe a few inches on the mass. Maybe 20 to 25 inches total gets you to mid 360's. If he's a young slight built bull maybe I'm high, but if he's a big mature bull maybe I'm low.
Having said all that, this is why judging elk worries me for my upcoming Utah hunt. So keep them coming. I need the practice and these discussions help a great deal.

It's not impossible to be pretty accurate. I hope somebody nails it and you can compare to these numbers. You can estimate the length of his face from the base of antler to the nose to be around 15-16". His points are straight, but still pretty long, especially the 2, 3, and 4.
I'm not trying to gift or be conservative, just accurate.
Beams: 51
first 4 tines roughly 16, 18.5, 18, and 19.5 (over 20 on the left)
the right has a 10.5 5th tine
the left has 3 crummy tines 1.5, 5, and 3
fair mass, 27" each side
39 on spread
Add them up.

LMAO, do you actually think there could be a 20 inch swing in the amount of mass there is? most mature bulls will have 27"s of mass per side, I have found that to be a pretty accurate number to use for mass when dealing with mature bulls.
This bull is a lot closer to 350 than 330.

Nope, probably should have said mass and other factors. Most people overestimate a bull in velvet both mass and length from my experience. I Added up to around 340, just a tad under with deductions. Gave myself 10" either way because it's in velvet and I'm judging from 2 photos...

I'd say 360+ hands down. Here's to hoping you get him and we find out for sure!!!

Sorry, I don't understand the comment about, "one typo and the World has stopped?"
Bess is correct, even if this bull would go 350, even 360, probably not big enough for the boys who got the pic. Not braggin' just not the size they hunt for.
Assassin, you are correct, you know those boys too. I grew up with him, but moved away.

These low ball scoring posts crack me up every year! I'm not an elk scoring expert by any means but I would bet that he's much better than a 330 bull! My guess is that bull is pushing 370 but there's only one way to know for sure! Good luck if you're hunting him. He's no doubt an awesome bull with sweet character.

For those mocking my first "guess" of 315 - well, I will forgive you, you are probably newbies to the site and not in on the inside joke. Berryblaster is probably closer on his guess than I am! He is using the MM Hero System of scoring. I am using the MM Standard Critic System. There is a big difference. HA HA!!
Seriously though, my brother has a bull on his wall that reminds me a lot of this bull. Epic front tines, but relatively short main beams and regular 3rd's and swords. Good, but not phenomenal mass, and not overly wide. That bull scores right at 340, so I will give my best educated guess to say that this bull is in that neighborhood too.
So let's say 343 1/8 just for grins.
