Default RE: Swamp Buck rack (pic)

Well a few guesses so I'll give the final stats. On a gross basis Carmaster was pretty close. The final is 143 1/8. (I had previously posted 143 7/8 but I was not too careful in getting proper circumference measurements for the H scores).

It does have a lot of dedcutions as noted so the official B&C scores are 137 6/8 gross typical with 8 1/8 deductions for 129 5/8. Add the drop and you get a 135 2/8 non typical net score.

If he was a clean typical without the messed up right side he would have scored right around his gross non-typical at 143.

We figured he was around 5 1/2 from the jawbone recovered so might have gotten a bit bigger.

I watched that rack for 15 minutes slowly working it's way towards me last year. he never presented anything better than a neck shot and that was with a fogged scope and buck fever setting in. I decided not to shoot so as not to hurt him and chase him another day. Sucks the car was not so forgiving.
