Elk Shed

[The Bit Runner.]

Got this shed from a local farmer it was left in his hay stack along with the matching side with a busted off g4. What do you think this would score. the other side is a perfect match other than about 12-15" of g4 busted off. It has amazing long beams for a central alberta bull. his 3rds are short but he makes up for it every where else.

nothing for size comparison in the pic. no way to guess score from those shots.

I was hoping someone who knows alot about elk horns could rough guess that shed x it by 2 and give it a inside spread.

^^ someone could do that for you with pics that have something to guage size.....like a person holding it, or maybe a tape, or even a gun....you know....some reference. the only thing in those pics to show anything is the width of the flooring which can be anywhere from 4-8 inches. thats not enough to go by. noone can give any kind of educated guess by those pics. heck, you say the beams are long, but a shot along the beam doesnt show that.....you need a view from the side to see beam length.

Tell we where this hay stack is located and I will give you an exact score!

Why not put a tape to it and get an exact measurement off it quickly? Takes under 10 minutes...

He looks like a good bull, but a guy does need reference to see exactly what you're looking at.

I put a tape on it b-4 i left and i beleive the beams were 55",His 4ths were
21". Thats the only measurements i took b4 i left for work i will get some when i go home to give you a better idea. I dont know nothing a whole bunch about elk horns( how to score them ) but i am guessing somewhere in the 320-330. Just a guess could be 20-30 " either way i dont know.

If he's got a 55" main beam and some decent width, I'd say he could be in the high 330 range or even into the 340's. Really tough to say. He's a bit weak on his eye guards and his 3rd but overall looks pretty good.

Kind of what i thought, Thanks Rack. Do you measure elk points the same way you would measure a whitetail off his beams?

[Rackmastr]

Yes, the points are measured off the beams pretty much the same from what I know. I'm no pro, just a garage rough scorer!

[fogducker]

it dose not look like there is alot of mass there so he could be alot bigger this year.

and if you do H measurements , remember that the first one on elk is after G1......Not between the burr and G1
