hey btw Duke- did you find those sheds lying like that or did you stage them for the picture?
Hoytail- That's exactly the position they were found in.. and I'll tell you it doesn't happen like that very often.

And ya a 140" by me too is a awesome deer. But you'll have to forgive me since I just came back from the Illinois classic where 160" was small..[&:]

Oh and Shed33.. its Mike not Matt.[8D]

That is sweet bro.... [8D]Are his left tines chewed down or are they just shorter than his right side?

Have a better pic showing the size of them.... Like how they would have sat on his head?

Congrats on the nice find.

Good eye Buckeye. His left tines are a bit smaller actually. His right side longest tine is nearly 10".. while the left sides longest is about 7.5".

He's a 9 pointer. The most interesting thing about all this is the genetics that Justin and I can clearly see through our trailcams and sheds we've found over the past few years. Alot of bucks with right side a basic 4 and left side a basic 5 but with shorter tine length.

Sorry about the pic. The snow always messes up my cameras ability to get the correct amount of exposure time.[:@]
