Scoring Elk Antlers.

[JMG]

Can anyone tell me who in the Billings, MT area can "officially" score some elk antlers?

This is a picture of the bull my son shot in the Breaks this year. The body on this bull was big ... one of the biggest bodied elk we have been lucky enough to harvest. My son is 6'0" tall (as a reference). This bull carried some serious mass (circumference) up to the 4th tine ... the individual tines (themselves) were "thick".




I'm no expert in measuring elk antlers ...... I followed Boone and Crocket's scoring and my calculations were 340'ish. I've had several folks tell me the antlers score higher and now I'm curious. Thanks.

Go on the pope and young and Boone and Crockett web pages. There should be a link that says find a Measurer

What golfer said. That is a darn nice bull too! It does not cost anything to have them scored I believe but if it is large enough to enter into the records book there is a small fee for doing that. Neat way to honor the animal.

Dang. I was just in Billings yesterday and had time to kill. I would have been happy to do it.

Thanks, everyone.

Art, next time your in Billings .... send me a private message. I'm in no big hurry to get it scored, it's mostly out of curiosity.
