RE: What is the Biggest Buck you've ever shot
I just measured mine for the first time tonight. Kind of suprising results to me. I've always kind of judged deer by the spread, the bigger the better.
I measured 3 racks that I thought were decent. I knew they were nothing special but thought they would score decent. The first that I measured had an 18.5" spread and the main beam was 19.5" long but it was just a 3 x 4 andit only scored 113.25. Then I measured the one with the thickest beams with a circumference at the base of 4.5". It was also a 4 x 3. The main beamon it was 20". I measured a tiny bit better at 117.75.
Then I measured the one that was only 15.5" spread. It's main beams were only 16.5", but was a standard 5 x 5. It measured 127.5". Those extra points sure make a difference in scoring them.
These were also all mule deer so they are really pretty small for mule deer. They were taken many years ago when I was in high school and just happy to take a buck, but I thought enough of these racks to at least keep the horns and skull cap.
Those 170+" racks must really be monsters!
