Default Close up pics of 2004 contest buck

Well I recieved alot of supportive PMs over the "controversy" from the score of this buck that a couple members gave me. Alot of members said to go take some close ups and post them.

The taxi mounted him so I went down to snap some pics. I will have him home in about 2 weeks or so.

Well here they are.

LOL you are one of "them" who questioned from the first thread. No it isn't 140.

There is no way that buck is even over 150". I think you posted he was 161" and some change. Did you count the spread measuement twice? I think your measure tape is screwed up or something.
