buckmasterflex, my comment was based on personal impression of the antlers the classic forks, main beams & stickersmade me think mulie right away. Browtines on mulies are common in my area, while many are 2" or under I have seen some that stretch up on typical and nontypical frames, so that never entered my mind. I didn'tnoticed where you hail from, nor would I know if mulies are in your area. Sorry for the grief man! Still a great find..congrats
