Check Out This Bull!

kigercreek · 01-19-2009, 09:23 AM

A friend of mine has been telling me about the bull he photographed through his spotting scope at his in-laws at Christmastime. He finally sent me several shots...here are the best 2. They are a bit "foggy" being through his spotting scope, but I think you can see plenty! Wow!!!!

A 7X7 frame with a couple extras on one side and another on the other side, making it a 9X8. A bit difficult to see specifics, but sure curious what the bugger would score.

WOW !! I am wondering the true score also. The beam length is extra... extra... long. The inside beam spread is exceptional!

Wow, great bull.

I can hear the checks being written right now and the guides gearing up to track this bull down.

That is a really nice bull! cant wait to see better pictures when it is on the wall

OR_Bo_Huntr · 01-19-2009, 09:50 AM

410"

Nope, Washington. The pic was taken not too awfully far from where that big bull was taken this past year which was posted on ifish several times. Good genetics abound in that area, apparently!

One sweet looking bull.

Nw dukn · 01-19-2009, 12:34 PM

Awesome looking BULL..

Wow....

MarlinMark · 01-19-2009, 01:14 PM

That's an awesome bull and I don't care what it would score. That being said, I would venture to guess that it won't score anywhere near what some would think. "Thirds and fourths" etc. etc. Not the length needed there that makes up the big differences. But, that is a WAG from the photos.

What a bull!

Backlash2 · 01-19-2009, 02:23 PM

I agree.

Good mass, good main beams, good width...tine length is no where near what it would need to be to break the magical number. Even with the extras.

Everyday Joe hunter would still be foolish or very dedicated not to let the air out of him.

Sweet bull.

OR_Bo_Huntr · 01-19-2009, 02:30 PM

It will go all of it

Austin1321 · 01-19-2009, 02:34 PM

Very nice bull. I agree joe, he's every bit of what you said.

OR_Bo_Huntr · 01-19-2009, 02:48 PM

Very similar to a bull killed by Mossback in 03 that went 414

huntercope · 01-19-2009, 06:35 PM

On the second picture is that a doe in front of him? or a small cow?

XXX archer · 01-19-2009, 06:42 PM

Its a darn nice bull but I would be suprised if he went over 380. You have to have it all to break 400!!!!

Good eyes. Looks to be a doe in the front and a cow in the rear?

Bow Kill · 01-19-2009, 07:22 PM

Wont go over 400 is my call, but he is a dandy. I would like to find those sheds!!
What do you think the bull in my avatar scores?

perhaps if you could post the pic so we can see a larger image, we could take a gander at the score. The image is just too small to make an educated guess.

Beaglehunter · 01-19-2009, 08:08 PM

Big in anyones eyes but not sure he would make 400 either. But who cares he is a dandy.

OR_Bo_Huntr · 01-20-2009, 09:41 AM

I would guess 310"-320"

DF40 · 01-20-2009, 02:05 PM

352- Very nice bull!

Beamerfish · 01-20-2009, 03:07 PM

Uh, which bull are we scoring, the 9x8 or Bowkill's? I'll go with OR BO hunter's 310-320 on the 6x and for the 9x8, best I could guess is between 350 and 400 but I'll be happy to ground check it to know for sure. Bet there are some boys out looking for those horns this year in both detached and undetached states. Both great bulls but that 9x8 is special.

Beautiful bull. I'd guess 348.... a dandy for sure, and shot by a Scappoose feller...., Even better

Hmm...Scappoose fellers are kinda small and shifty. It makes the bull look bigger.

fisher22 · 01-20-2009, 08:44 PM

Idon't care what it scores- that is one helluva bull.
