[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 766298, member: 33822"] Finally got a call over the weekend from the Boone and Crockett scoring expert who scored my bull... 322.5. And the B&C guy was really a very nice guy. Extremely professional and talked me through all kinds of cool stuff. Where I went wrong was how I scored each tine length... I brought each measurement down into the middle of the main beam instead of stopping at the top ridge of the beam. Anyways, he was also telling me how nearly all of the big bulls he scores come from private land and guided hunts, and he seemed genuinely impressed that I was able to find such a nice bull self-guided on public land. He also said his best guess on age was 6.5 years old... so this bull still had at least a few more good years as top dog had he not walked into my bullet. He also mentioned that the scars and broken tines were more aggressive than most bulls he has seen, and had he not had any broken tines he would have scored right at 330 with less than 3 inches of deductions. So in my mind I shot a 330 bull that fought his way down to 322. :-) The mount is supposed to be finished in April, and I can't wait. I'll post a few pics once I get it up on the wall. [/QUOTE]
