Pat
Congrats on getting it done once again! What a stud!!! How long are those 3rds? Thanks! The third point on his right antler is 24 4/8", left is 19" even. Both royal points are over 22". Total score on the right antler, including the 2 4/8" cheater is 190". The left antler is a clean six, and scored 185 7/8". 375 7/8" without inside spread. If those are gross scores, given what you've put up before about the symmetry, then the net score for a typical should be about 370" before the spread. Given what you've said the spread was (roughly 40"), that's a 410" class bull. The current P&Y World Record is 412 1/8" If your scores above are net scores... Regardless, even after the drying period you just took, and we're all looking at, one of the Top Five (likely Top 3) elk ever taken with a box and it MIGHT (depending upon where it scores against Chuck Adam's 2000 bull of 409 2/8") be the largest archery bull ever taken in Montana.

Some idiots must think bulls like that are stupider and easier to kill because of living on "private land". Hell of an accomplishment Pat. I've hunted elk a long time and I can appreciate what you've done. Absolute monster. mtmuley

And yes I have killed my share of elk, best is a 400" 7x7 that was taken on public ground. And no sour grapes here either.

Didn"t mean to ruffle your feathers, just saying for a guy to be able to hunt a 410" 415" bull on public ground, this day and age, in flat open country is just about impossible. Again great bull, tremendous self control you have, and no sour grapes. Dude puts his time obviously. Congrats!
