340-350 gross (-10" net) is my guess. Nice long tines add up.

Like many before me I would go 310- 320, he is light, and tops are not long. I have been lucky to have seen several bigger.

Maybe 320 and that is being generous. Weak tops. A really big bull will have a Y of the 5th and 6th point that is as wide as the 4th point is long. The 4th point is called the sword point and is usually the longest point on the rack

no way he goes 320 he might tweak 290 maybe 300 if you stretch the tape but i'm still gonna go with 280-288 range he doesnt have enough mass or width to make 320 or more

I'm also in the right around 300 group. Not a lot of mass and back forks are smallish.

Imo, long points, weak mass, but my gut said 320 off the cuff at the beginning. On the hoof or off it can be tough. Helped a buddy that killed a 7 years ago. Knew he was good, but after taping him and coming up with 398, we looked at one another and thought no way. Taped him again and were within 1/4. I couldn't believe he was that big. Two others killed that year went 398, and 408 respectfully. Two of us screwed up the 408 with a bow, he was killed with a rifle. He was deceiving, he didn't look that big, but he had so much mass on his mains that hiss points looked short. He was as big around as a coke can most of the way up,

Neither me or my buddies can score an elk. But we all can count he's a 6x6 and he looks good on your wall & I bet he was good in the freezer too. smile

What does any bull score? It is hard to say without some perspective measurements to guess. I would have guessed the original bull on this thread at around 300, but his score sheet says different.

Here are some of ours. The first 3 are the same elk, but may score differently from the perspective you have when viewing it. Net is about 318.

The next bull is a 6X6, but not 300, the next is 380 and many have seen bigger bulls.

then a couple of my son's archery kills, a 300 and 350 bull. Just how easy is it to score an elk?
