    Found these 2 sheds today... One measured 72 inches and the other was 86 1/4 with approximately 5 inches chewed off of it.

    Thanks guys, the big one has 10 points and like I said it scored 86 1/4 with about 5 inches chewed off. If he had a matching side that would put him darn near 200". Funny thing was I was looking all over on the ground and it was about 3 feet off the ground stuck in a sapling.
