Field judging?

[cohunter14]

I will say they always look bigger on a skull mount. The skin and ears change the look. Can you post a kill picture?

Sure, here are a couple:

I scored it yesterday and will post the results up here either this afternoon or tomorrow at some point. I\'ll post the score sheet so everyone can see it. Maybe it\'ll be helpful...

That is a nice looking bull. I would shoot him in a heart beat. Score guess = 220 + or -

What happened to his right front leg? Pretty bull!

Legal and delicious looking. Game on!

It looked like he had gotten shot there before. I took one shot at him and he bucked up like a horse and took off running just fine, although he only went 30 yards. But I was just as surprised when I got up to him. I\'m guessing the wound happened sometime earlier that season, but never heard of anyone around us who was looking for him.

That he was, and still is I guess although there isn\'t much left!

Sorry for the delay guys, but here is the official score I came up with: 196 7/8 net and 203 3/4 gross. Here is the score sheet. Truthfully I\'ve never gone through actually scoring one before, so let me know if I messed something up. Hopefully this helps

Yeah, great guess on Bill\'s part! Just like you Bill, this is a decent bull for our area. There are some that are bigger, but you don\'t hesitate to shoot one of these when they show up

IMO judging a euro is harder than one on the hoof. I base most of my field judging off of how long the fronts are based on the pedicle to tip of nose estimate.
