Huge Skull/Estimate inches
 
My buddys dad found this on his land and wants to shoot a big deer with a small rack and have the taxedermist mount the rack on it and fix the chewed spot. What do you guys think this guy would measure?

I can't believe the mice haven't eaten the antlers up! That deer must have only been dead a week or so. Sorry, this is an inside joke from another thread. Nice find. I would rather mount it skull and all. A European mount they call it.

Awesome buck, if you have a few measurement then I'm sure we could guess the score pretty close. Like width, and g-2 height

You guessing I would say it would gross in the 190's.

My thoughts exactly Silent.

Somewhere in the 190's....?? Who knows, when they get that big it's really hard to tell without putting the tape on it.

damn !

5 points on the left beam

G1 = 6"
G2 = 11"
G3 = 12"
G4 = 9"
G5 = 3"
main beam = 26"
mass = 25"

92 total inches

8 points on right antler

G1 = 6"
G2 = 11"
G3 = 12"
G4 = 9"
G5 = 3"
main beam = 26"
mass = 25"

92 total inches + 4" for abnormal points = 96" total

thats 190" right there - ass 20" spread and thats a gross 210" rack ??????????

Are my numbers that way off ????????

I'd do a european mount and leave the chew marks - Thats an awesome find. Also, I don't think I'd be looking for a smaller deer to mount that rack on, I'd be out there looking for that deers older brother ;)

I'm in Champaign county also, can't say that I've seen one that big running around here - Very Impressive!
