Score estimate my first elk

[cnelk]

Go get it green scored by an OM.

Won’t cost anything - then get it officially scored again after the drying time.

You’ll learn a thing or two watching the scoring process

I wish I could! I flew back to NJ as it was being taken to taxidermist

270" is my guess. Use this and measure it yourself, you should be able to get decently close....https://www.boone-crockett.org/scorechart/add/american_elk

Congrats on a great bull, I'll go with 270-275. Probably under estimating, but I seem to guess too high usually .

Congrats on a GREAT first bull - I am guessing he is in the 275-280 range, but don't let any score dampen what you accomplished.

 

[payton1333]

Nice bull! Congrats.

 

[sharpbb14]

263"

 

[Grell1591]

My best guess is just shy of 300" but a very nice one at that!

 

[Bearded Bowhunter]

260ish. Mass measurements are smallest diameter and pretty short beams IMO. Still would shoot him anyday myself unless I had a trophy unit tag. Congrats!

 

[streetdoctor]

First thought in my head was 270-275. Decent mass. lacking a bit of tine length.

That said it is a great bull and congrats on your trophy!

This was my guess... maybe 260-280.

For reference this guy measured 259.5. Doesn't matter though, great bull!

 

[GringoBling]

Congrats! That’s a heck of a first bull. I have a few identical to that on the wall, so my guess is 275-280. It takes a lot more than some guys think to hit 300.

I certainly don't know how to score them on the hoof accurately, but my first guess was 280. And yes, it takes a lot to get to 300, much more than most people think.

 

[Doehunter]

At least 260 and a bunch of great meat!!!

 

[PhotoHunter]

Great bull. Congrats!

I had a bull net 300 and yours looks bigger. I guess 305.

 

[Geewhiz]

Congrats on an awesome bull! What a beauty!

 

[velvet muley]

Mass should put him at 295ish

 

[Travis907]

Congrats on a great bull!! I’d guess 280-290. Awesome job and good quality meat!

 

[cadet18]

285-295. very nice bull, congrats

[Hnthrdr]
