Can anyone tell me how to score this bull?

Here ya go. The big extra beam is just an extra point, basically just add everything up.

Does this help you?

That does help, thanks. Also, I’m curious on the “extra”... I’m assuming because it Tri-pods that’s why we wouldn’t classify it as a 5th?

On the other side would you just call it 7 or would one of the first 3 be an “extra” as well?

yes ,the extra is an extra because it is not coming off of the main beam.

On the other side yes I would say that second point is an extra because it seems to have a different trajectory than the rest, kinda shoots up more rather than out.

But honestly he is just a freak bull you really don't even need to worry about classifying every point, if it was me I would just add everything up and say what his gross score is and call it that lol. He's a cool bull for sure. but really hard to classify him into a certain category other than a freak.

Jake H gave good advice. Really, since this bull won't go in any record book, either as a typical or nontypical, score doesn't matter much. If numbers are important to you, do as Jake said and just add up all the lengths, etc., and go with a gross score. He is a cool freak, and that makes him a shooter. Not his score.

Kill him first.
Then it is a lot easier to score him.

What an awesome bull!

Popular bull there...id guess 320”+50ish inches of extra. That feels a little steep to me, but mass and extra’s add up quick.

I have some trail cam pictures of a similar bull a few years back. Always wondered how something like that would be scored.

He kind of looks like he has a separate pedicle for that antler. Very cool!

I don’t even have a tag. I’m sitting on 17 points and will keep putting in until I draw that Pahvant tag! Just looking for bucks for my 15 year old. I was curious about how to score a bull like that.
