Close up pics of 2004 contest buck

Well I recieved alot of supportive PMs over the "controversy" from the score of this buck that a couple members gave me. Alot of members said to go take some close ups and post them.

The taxi mounted him so I went down to snap some pics. I will have him home in about 2 weeks or so.

Well here they are.

Was he in the 140'??

LOL you are one of "them" who questioned from the first thread. No it isn't 140.

Hey Buckeye,
Where you at in NE Ohio? Who's mounting it..kinda looks like Pauls Taxidermy from the shop pics.?

buckeye · 12-15-2004, 02:25 PM

I am in Trumbull county. It was mounted by Fritz Birkheimer of Ultimate wildlife creations from Warren Ohio.

There is no way that buck is even over 150". I think you posted he was 161" and some change. Did you count the spread measuement twice? I think your measure tape is screwed up or something.

OK I grew up in Trumbull County..Hubbard..now in North Lima...Mahoning County. Without dispelling your secret spot, which I wouldn't do either, where you Hunting.

I mostly stick to the Columbiana area.

Yep 161 1/8 is exactly what I posted. As I said before I am confident to with in a couple inches due to margin of error. I nor the Taxi are offical measures. Although I have an appointment to have him officially score the first week of Jan.
