Some shedding

Well our sheds have begun to drop. Been hammered by snow and I am seeing more and more big bucks crusing thru the backyard during all hours. I am cursed however being lumped into a no bwhunting zone. I have the 2 week rifle season and that's it or I would of been shooting the 8 pointer with a broadhead not a camera[8D]

Here is a nice one at 8:30am and then with his little 9 pt. buddy at 2:30pm. By 6pm he came back and had nothing.

I found the larger left side. Let's see what all you rack scorers guess him at. I have the left side and added 14 inches for a spread and took 10% off the left score for his right antler since it's smaller.

Give me your gross score guess with those factors just for fun

LMB scores 67" on its' own....including "H" measurements.

RMB est. at 62" (Longer MB)

Spread est. at 14"

Total gross = 143"

That guy has a tank of a body on him. Let's see a good picture of the shed.

57.5 inches on your shed antler.

okay kickin'. I'll have to go do that. I'll add something in like a bottle for reference as well. In the meantime since we don't usually have that luxury, go ahead and use what I gave you. Braggin' rights to the closest

So buckeye's total gross would be 57.5 + 51.8 + 14 = 123.3 or 123 3/8 would be the rounded figure.

That's a 120 and a 140 class guess.

Wow, our deer down here don't shed until late late. I saw a buck this year with half a rack in late March!

MB 21
G1 5.5
G2 10
G3 6

H's 16

That's 58.5 this time.

BTW I do not feel the other side is 10% smaller.... Maybe 3 or so inches smaller at best. I think it is a 130 inch deer.

Ya you're probably correct on the right side. Just picked an easy number for the math. Might be a few inches more for sure. I think the spread guess is realistic. He is not extremely wide by any means. We got another12 inches of snow from the time he dropped his right side so I ain't holding my breath on finding it until sometime in March if I'm lucky.

Let's say minus off 3 inches from left side to right side. 58.5 plus 55.5 plus 14 = 128 for Buckeye
