RE: anyone ever seen the world record typical
I have only seen a reproduction of the Hanson Buck. It's definitely wide.
The Beatty Buck currently hangs in the Gander Mountain just a mile away from where I work. The antlers are unique, but if the taxidermist did it justice as far as the size and shape of the face is concerned, that massive antler growth must have sucked the calcium out of the skull!
Really skinny face, almost too small compared to the rack. Nowhere near the "Roman-Nosed" characteristics that gives them that regal look.
Shoot often - Hunt always
