Default Some shedding

Well our sheds have begun to drop. Been hammered by snow and I am seeing more and more big bucks crusing thru the backyard during all hours. I am cursed however being lumped into a no bwhunting zone. I have the 2 week rifle season and that's it or I would of been shooting the 8 pointer with a broadhead not a camera[8D]

Here is a nice one at 8:30am and then with his little 9 pt. buddy at 2:30pm. By 6pm he came back and had nothing.

I found the larger left side. Let's see what all you rack scorers guess him at. I have the left side and added 14 inches for a spread and took 10% off the left score for his right antler since it's smaller.

Give me your gross score guess with those factors just for fun

Total gross = 143"

That guy has a tank of a body on him. Let's see a good picture of the shed.

57.5 inches on your shed antler.

okay kickin'. I'll have to go do that. I'll add something in like a bottle for reference as well. In the meantime since we don't usually have that luxury, go ahead and use what I gave you. Braggin' rights to the closest

So buckeye's total gross would be 57.5 + 51.8 + 14 = 123.3 or 123 3/8 would be the rounded figure.

That's a 120 and a 140 class guess.

Wow, our deer down here don't shed until late late. I saw a buck this year with half a rack in late March!

MB 21
G1 5.5
G2 10
G3 6

H's 16

That's 58.5 this time.

So buckeye's total gross would be 57.5 + 51.8 + 14 = 123.3 or 123 3/8 would be the rounded figure.
BTW I do not feel the other side is 10% smaller.... Maybe 3 or so inches smaller at best. I think it is a 130 inch deer.

Ya you're probably correct on the right side. Just picked an easy number for the math. Might be a few inches more for sure. I think the spread guess is realistic. He is not extremely wide by any means. We got another12 inches of snow from the time he dropped his right side so I ain't holding my breath on finding it until sometime in March if I'm lucky.

Let's say minus off 3 inches from left side to right side. 58.5 plus 55.5 plus 14 = 128 for Buckeye
