Read the last few entries in the Team 17 thread. It is sad and amazing at the same time.

Actually it does score 199 1/8 as a non typical and 187 as a typical.I thought the same thing as you.But,it was shot by my nephew the first day of gun season here in ohio.It was scored by an offical scorer for B&C p&Y and the Ohio big buck club.Hey miracles could happen.It would take one for us to get back in the running.I wish I had some of the other pictures that really show how big he is.Thats the only picture I have.Good luck to all of those that are in a realistic range.

Man I'd love to see some other angles of that deer myself if he's hiding another 30-40 inches there.[:-] It's a brute for sure and tell him congrats!! Does it have a couple more tall tines hiding in line with others that you can't see in the picture?
I've been waiting on some copies of the other photos.I never got to see the buck myself to answer your question matt.I personally did not think he would score that high myself.From this picture I don't even see that much non typical antler.I do know the official scorer that green scored the buck.He knows what he's doing,so it must be larger than it looks from this angle.I down loaded this photo from another web page,I 've never got to see the other photos myself.The mount of the deer will be done by christmas.If I get hold of some photos you'll see them.
