ANOTHER guess the score!

[elkmaster]

Guess the net score of this Bull elk that was found near Fernie, B.C. in the spring of 2004 by a local bear hunter.

Just a note to get you thinking, it grossing 399 B&C.

What a find. Some guys have all the luck. As for score, not even a guess.

I am gonna guess 414" even have no clue when it comes to elk score, seeing as i have only watched a few scored.
Sweet pick up congrats to the lucky guy:smile:

That is a awsome find, lucky bear hunter. I have no idea with the score on that pig. Do you know what he did with the bull? find a cape for it?

[mark]

Doesnt look like theres to much for deductions, Id say around 412. Was he allowed to keep it???

[Fisher-Dude]

What a hog. Not much (any?) publicity on that find??

Pretty even...383 net. I'll edit now that the gross was edited. :)

Oh ya so you edited yer post, I thought something was wrong there as a 399 would be a new BC #1 typical. Makes a little more sense now, my revised guess will be 382 net!

Mark,
Actually there is a typical that scores 401 7/8 that was a picked up in 1986 that is entered in the B&C but there is no record of it in the BC Book. I wonder why the Trophy Wildlife Records Club of BC hasn't accepted it as the #1????

As for the bull in the post, no doubt a MONSTER!!! I'd say it'll net high 380's.

[hunter1947]

I will guess 385 net. hunter47.8)

[elkguide]

Well from the pic I see at least 20 inches in deductions ( the left side royal is quite a bit longer, the G2 on the right is shorter and you can't see the 7th point on the right side but I'm guessing it to be about 5-7 inches) I'm going to venture to say 368 net. that is of course if it does gross 399.

[Rainwater]

366 6/8's exactly.

[Husky7mm]

Was it chewed on at all. Does he think its was a wolf or couger kill, or a car or train kill.

[Rackmastr]

I'd have to say 374 3/8.....

[eastkoot]

Fernie, I'll guess 373..

[Lil Buck]

371 7/8
Nice Bull..........:lol:

[Trapper]

i'll say 378

[elkguide]

so what was his final net score? awfully curious............

[elkmaster]

The bull missed the boone and crockett by one inch, final score was 374.

[Rackmastr]

Wow.....3/8 of an inch off....not too shabby if I must say so myself!!

And of course Eastkoot was 1" off.....lots of close guesses...
