Here is my 2010 bull. The picture doesn't do it justice.

I think it looks great also. I would love to see another few shots of some of the detail of the work. Looks like a really well done mount though. Impressive. Probably 325 net? Your name says it all!

I never actually scored it myself until now. The low 340s score was an estimation. I just scored him and got 369 gross and 358 net. I did it twice and got the same score within an inch or so. I wonder if I'm doing something wrong??

greatest inside spread(parallel to skull) length of main beams, length of all 5 points and 4 circumfrences on each antler should give you gross score.

Yep, I basically just plugged numbers into the B&C scoring application.

I discovered my error. I was measuring my tine lengths from the centre, rather than the edge of the main beam...the B&C diagram is a bit confusing. The revised gross is 352 and the net is 341 3/8.

At first glance I thought 310, but when you said 340 I took a closer look and realized it has great tine length!!! My best gross scores 329 and nets 315. You have a great bull there and a nice mount!!!
