My Two pope and young's are back from the taxi!
 

The wide one scored right about 150" and the other i havent scored yet, but should easily make pope and young. Shot just 75 yards apart, and 1 week apart. The wide one was shot on 11/5/11 and the tall 8 was shot 11/13/11

I like how they turned out and it's cool to see them together, capturing both sides of the "antler spectrum"

Very nice bucks! Also quite cool how they are complete opposites, one tall and narrow and the other short and wide. Congrats!

looks great, I really like the wide one!

Awesome bucks! I really like the tall one.

Thanks guys, I have to say my personal favorite of the two is the tall one, I've always liked the real tall "basket" racks!

Both beauties and unique! Congrats...

just got done scoring the 8, he ended up at 144 4/8" Typical pope and young

That's a helluva a nice 8!!!

Congrats. They are a couple of nice looking bucks. I also like the tall narrow racks that score well.

Nice bucks.

awesome bucks

those look real nice. Id have to say my favorite is the tall rack

Thanks Rocky! Unfortunately i'll be spending most of the hunting season in Utah for school. 2011 was a great season while im still in Wisco. Haven't looked into it, but maybe i'll get a chance to do some hunting out in utah, and i am planning on coming back in early november if at all possible for the rut!

You'll be into world class Muley's out there and also they have great Elk too ,so it should be interesting for you. Good luck buddy.
Rocky

very nice!!!!!

No offense, congrats on your bucks and I know you are rightfully proud... But how were those bucks scored? Based on your measurements I'm thinkin they were measured about 20"-30" over actual. You aren't including the outside spread in the measurement in addition to the inside spread are you? A 145" 8pt is a HUGE 8!!!

Again, not trying to ridicule, just askin!
