No joking here, I held this rack in my hands...
Well I'll be dipped in doo doo. Small world.

Is it getting mounted at Dave Sorber's? I was talking to him on Saturday and he said he got a really big one in. I hadn't seen the picture at the general store yet when I talked to him, though.

Did you see the 12 pointer that Randy shot on top of Red Rock? That was hanging in the general store a couple of weeks ago. It was the one that won the Suburban News buck pool but the picture in the paper didn't do it justice.

I'm not being a smart arse, but from the picture that was provided, I don't see anything over 160"

On all the score threads, I see folks guessing from 115" to 150" on the same buck.

Randy turned down the free taxidermy of that buck, too. I would get a chipmunk mounted if it were free

I would guess, no. I think he is a high 150"s to low 160"s gross. He's a heck of a nice buck though, and I would shoot him anyday!!

i think 160 - 163, the way the horns are leaning toward the picture i think make him look a little bigger than he really is. that said i would drop him w/o thinking about the score!!!

I was looking at it and doing some estimates and it looks like it's about 170 gross. Side-side deductions would probably bring it down to the low 160s. Then, some abnormals would bring it to the high 150s-160 net. But I think it will tally 170 gross inches.

Look closely at the mass. It's going to have some nice H measurements.
