Big Nevada Bull.

My Sister-in-Law Kenda Constable killed this area 8 bull on November 24th which was opening day. Lots of scouting paid off for her husband Jack Constable and friend Ralph Betancourt who had scouted out this bull before the season. Kenda made a 340 yard shot to put him down. Kenda has the largest Bull elk, mule deer and antelope in our family and is making all of the men look bad, lol. This bull unofficially scores 385" and is a 7x7. These are not the greatest pictures but I hope to update this post with more pictures in the next couple of days. Thanks for looking. fatrooster.
His good side.

The #6 point on the left side is very small and you can't see it in this picture. This bull may actually be considered a 6x7 in Boone and Crockett standards. fatrooster.

Great bull! :thumb
But I am going to be THAT guy, and say there is no way that is a 380 bull. I'd give him 350-360. Hope I am wrong though.

Hardway, I'll have to agree with you and say that he does not look 380 to me either. But I know the guy who rough measured it and he is very knowledgable about measuring antlers. Nevertheless, that still does not prove anything. I have to work for one week and then I will get with my in-laws and try to get pictures of me taking measurements. No promises, but I'll try. fatrooster.

Like I said, I hope I am wrong. Just from those pictures you posted, that was my best estimate. It is hard to tell without having several different angles. Regardless of what the bull scores, he is a dandy. Not trying to take that away from you, or the woman who shot it! 10sign:

Is that an Ely bull, or further up north?

Hardway, you've been very polite and there is no offense taken. Like I said, I will try to take pictures of me actually measuring the bull but it won't be until this weekend or maybe even after that. We can make this a fun experiment.
BLC, he was taken in area 8 which is in the North East corner of the state. fatrooster.

They have been killing some huge bulls in that area for the last few years. Very nice.

I was not able to get over to my in-laws house to measure the bull. They went to Hawaii until Sunday and I've been busy. But the good news is that we are having a Big Buck and Bull contest this Saturday, December 11th at our family owned bar and a Boone and Crockett official measurer will be on hand to measure antlers. I will be taking pictures at the contest and will get pictures while the measuring of this bull is taking place. Although it will be a Boone and Crocket official measurer doing the measuring, it will not be an official measurement because of the mandatory 60 day drying period and the bull was just killed the day before Thanksgiving. But for the sake of this thread and for satisfying myself and "THEHARDWAY" I will post my findings. I would like to add that the Taxidermist took his owne measurements for fun and came up with 392". No matter what he scores, it will be cool to see where he ends up.
By the way, anybody who would like to attend our Big Buck and Bull contest is welcome. It will be held at the "Watering Hole" bar in Spring Creek, Nevada all day long on Saturday December 11th with a frr Bar-B-Q. Kids are allowed at this event but have to leave the bar at 5:00 p.m. This is not an advertisement but just an invitation. fatrooster.

No need to satisfy me man, like I said above, that bull is a dandy! That was just my initial opinion from the pictures and not seeing it in person.

Wished I lived a little closer so I could attend your get together at the bar, sounds like fun!

FatRooster we were a couple ranges to your West and that bull is bigger than anything my hunter shot at.Is it me or is it not frustrating taking an adult hunting and put them on bull after bull for 5 days(and some dang good bulls)Hunt your butt off for this person and have them miss 13 times. #-o :-k ](*,)

Big R, 13 times? I don't think I could do what you do. It would take a lot of patience. Kudos to you. fatrooster.

Well guys, this bull has gone through the 60 day drying period and was finally officially scored by an official Safari Club International and Nevada State Record Book measurer Brandin Fordin. He scored 390, 3/8" gross and netted 370, 1/4" making him about 5" too small for the Boone and Crockett record book. He will be entered into the Nevada State record book and Safari Club International. Thanks for all of the nice comments, my Sis-in-law really appreciates it. fatrooster.
