First impression it'll score 145ish, sheds are even harder to score off a picture.

You need to send that one to RMEF Bugle magazine, and see if they'd post it. Maybe write a quick story to go along with it pertaining to the outing you guys were on. It'd be great for inspiration to help push more youth into hunting/outdoors. Beautiful scenery, rack, and daughter. It doesn't get any better.

Took a break from turkeys to look for some sheds. Wasn’t expecting to find much because the area we hunt in eastern Washington gets hammered by shed hunters. First place we started hiking and she ran across it about 50 yards from the truck. I think she was just as excited about the shed as when she shot her first bull last fall

That's a great picture. I wont even attempt to score that shed. All I know is it looks big to me. It has good mass, good tine length, nice main beam length. If the other side matched that one and it had any width at all it would be a very nice bull. Glad your daughter found it. She looks happy. And congrats on her first Bull last fall.

It's an elk shed, it represents the bull that shed it made it through to another year, and that's good. The important thing is the questioned asked.
I've spent a lot of time helping youths and new adult hunters. I don't do it to show off, but because there were old guys that helped a snot nosed kid long ago.
When a new hunter, especially a youth askes a question I try to listen and answer it, not starkly clinical but not with a bunch of embellishment or 'me story' either. Or answer it from a different perspective than was asked. I'm not going to side step, say numbers don't matter, try to instill some philosophical babble... I just answer the question.

Kent My S.W.A.G. is 150. Could be... Shed scoring has it's niche, especially big matched sets that can be sold to be mounted. Short version, a muture bull will be scored and 40 inches added for width, as that's average with a 340 to 380 6 pt. So if we are close that shed would represent a 330 to 340 bull. Kent

Dang, I didn't add in the spread, but a 330-340" bull is about right.

Kent Ok - but is it beautiful? Darn right it’s beautiful! The majesty of the bull that carried those is exactly what I’d be looking for. Kings of the mountains they are.

For the experienced at scoring, what is your score estimate? I'm giving it 335-345. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/BiDDhyq.jpg) Math with some generosity thrown in: Beams: 42 Tines: 13,12,14,17,7 Mass: total of 24 per side inside spread hard to tell, gift him with 40" he's relatively even, so double the best case numbers and add spread give you 298. I don't think he will gross that high but those are real numbers and probably not far off.
