This is my '08 buck and he's 106"

I guess that is why pictures can sometimes be misleading. There's nothing in the picture to give you a frame of reference. I wish I had a better picture of the buck, but I don't. My friend who hunts the area has been getting pictures of him for 3 years, so we know he is at least 5 1/2 years old, a mature buck. I can also tell you that from your picture, your buck (probably a 2-3 year old) is quite a bit smaller than the rack I have. Not even close.

A little stretch on every measurement there ...... especially the mass IMO
Thats a top out 115" buck, not a bad deer at all, I absolutely see no way he's a 128" buck, not as an 8 pointer with no more than 4" mass at the base, and the tines not very long either ...

I'm not surprised by the score of 129. I estimated 126 and knew that most people here were way low on this one. Very nice G2's and brows...good mass...good beams.

you found his sheds. There is no score. You have no idea what the alignment of those bones was on the skull. You have no idea what the spread was. I can say 15 1/2 and you can't prove me wrong. There is no score on sheds.

You found his sheds???? Then the score is
Deer 1.... Hunters...0

BTW...you are dead wrong about there being no score on sheds. For instance, the Minnesota Deer Hunters assocation keeps record books for sheds and I know there are many other organizationsthat do too. For that...there is no inside spread included since it cannot be determined.
But like I said this was just for fun and it was decided to base the inside spread on 16 inches. If you don't like the thread go read another one.

I'd have to measure that on my self to believe it. I don't see anywhere near the mass you got on him. My other guestimated figures were close, but I didn't see anywhere near that kind of mass. Seeing him in person may make me think different, but in my woods that deer gets a free pass based on what I'm looking at in these pic's.

After reading that rant I can only surmise that you arent much of a shed hunter. Or, someone pissed in your cheerios.[:-]
