Need another angle to judge his width, but I'd put him in the 330-340 range. Pretty good beam length. Nice bull...

330-340 is way off at his very best a 300" bull

Beautiful bull though if he is a Utah Otc bull I would not hesitate and would be very happy with him nice find founder if I had to guess he is an extended archery bull you are eyeing

BUGLEnmIN · Jul 9, 2016

Oh ya 330-340 is WAYYYYY OFFFFF!!!!!!! 300 AT BEST IS BEONG WAYY GENEROUS HAHa,but more realistic.

Rimrock · Jul 9, 2016

Buglenmin and Desertpointbrian,

Well, you both obviously have a much better eye than I do. My guess could certainly be wrong. Why don't you break down how you arrive at your estimated scores, so I can learn from you...

Granted this bull falls way short of 330-340 , however I'm of the opinion he will score much closer to 280 than 252. Founder, waiting for GPS coordinates so that one of the MM team can actually put a tape on him. Good basics going for this bull if he survives 2-3 years.

oilcan · Jul 10, 2016

IMO no way he's over 290

Cam@strawberry · Jul 10, 2016

I'd bet he's close to a 300" bull.

185" frame with an average of 11" tine gets him to 290" and I bet that's pretty close. Not hard to get when you sit down and look close

Beams 48"
Mass 50"
Spread 37"
Frame-183"

G-1 13
G-2 13
G-3 8
G-4 14
G-5 8
Tine total-112

295"

Strikes me as about that caliber of bull anyhow

BUGLEnmIN · Jul 10, 2016

Sticking with 270 on this one guys haha . Maybe 280 HIGHEST END

Bonehead13 · Jul 10, 2016

I think he is flirting with 300"

hornkiller · Jul 10, 2016

Shoot on this site he is pushing 373"!

Servehim · Jul 10, 2016

LAST EDITED ON Jul-10-16 AT 11:46PM (MST)[p]Correct me if I'm wrong ....but with the exception of one poster, this site has him scored from 252 to 300. Just saying ?

Rimrock · Jul 11, 2016

And that one poster can see that I overestimated him. Live and learn...

At least we know the all caps key and exclamation points still work for some folks

cmbbulldog · Jul 11, 2016

Decent fronts, but from the 3rd's up, that bull is pretty average to weak for a mature bull. I dont think there is any way that bull is 300. I would venture to guess closer to 270, maybe 280 tops if the MB's are longer than I think.

Gator · Jul 11, 2016

Will finish close to 300" IMO (90%)of the tag holders would be happy with him.

UGAhunter · Jul 11, 2016

Since I have never been able to break the 300" mark, but have killed a few 270-280 bulls, I am pretty good at judging these small bulls, haha. Add my guess that he'll finish up at 270.

Vanilla · Jul 11, 2016

290-ish. I think berrysblaster is very close with his guestimations.

Largebull · Jul 11, 2016

He doesn't score enough to shoot if You have an AZ. tag Good for most States..............BULL!

BLooDTRaCKeR · Jul 12, 2016

If it is an extended Wasatch front bull, score doesn't matter. The fact that he is a nice six point bull on a general season area is enough. The majority of hunters hunting on public land general season areas consider that bull a trophy. I know I do! I would hang that bull on the wall if I killed it on a general season public land area! That bull is the equivalent of killing a 390" bull on a limited entry unit.

Nice bull!

TheKnack · Jul 13, 2016

275-285 I would guess.

Dikndirt · Jul 13, 2016

That Bull would go 290 all day long. My guess is that he is within an inch or two of 300...and still possibly going to grow a little on 4th and 5th. Looks like a wyoming bull if I had to guess.

TOPGUN · Jul 13, 2016

LAST EDITED ON Jul-13-16 AT 03:35PM (MST)[p]IMHO the guesses of around 270" are a lot closer than anyone saying that bull is 300" or better. His fronts are very nice, but his beam lengths are not great and his thirds are very weak to come close to or break 300". The last bull a friend took with his bow scored 285" and got him a P&Y certificate. It was better than this bull at least at this stage of this ones growth and he's probably not going to put much more on other than his tops before he sheds his velvet that also makes him look better than he really is.

Cam@strawberry · Jul 13, 2016

It's really neat how different guys see different things. Topgun here went exactly the opposite of what I thought, I thought his fronts were his weakest points and his beams were his best asset

SDBugler · Jul 13, 2016

280 - 285
I think berryblaster was pretty close in his evaluation but just a little generous

Shadow · Jul 13, 2016

I think berrys numbers are spot on except I'm thinking 45-46 on the beams. 285-290. Anyone remember when a bull like this in Utah was a stud?

teamhuz44 · Jul 19, 2016

He may finish out around 300 but right now he's probably 275

wstrntines · Jul 20, 2016

I shot a bull years ago on an otc unit about the same size as he looks to be now he was 260. I think he may tape out at 280-300"
Definately worth shooting on an otc unit.

Roy · Jul 26, 2016

He scores exactly "let him walk".

Unless it an open bull tag - then blast away!

HOOK 'EM!

A average mature/big bull has a 200" main frame. Deduct 10" for main beam length, 8" for width and around 7" for him being light on his mass and that's a 175" main frame. 45" main beams, 32" wide and 26.5" of mass per side.

10" G1
13" G2
8" G3
12" G4
7" G5

This puts him at 275"

No way that bull will make 300", He will be a very nice bull in a couple of years though. Depending on the area I was hunting I may let him walk, he defiantly wouldn't be a bull I would plan a hunt around.
