Default Big Pair of Sheds Found in Illinois

Sorry for such a small picture...however,, these are a pair of sheds that my cousin found while we were shed hunting about 2 weeks ago now...so for all the "are they droppinem' yet?'' I would say that it is safe to say that some indeed are...what are the thoughts as to what he might score..i know its tough with no spread...give it your best guess please

thanks

Nice find!

FWIW, I saw six bucks last night. Everyone of them still had a complete set of head gear. But with as much sparing as they were doing, if they are close to dropping them that should take care of it. East Central Indiana.

You have the sheds. Why don't you measure them?

+1 for the suggestion. Give him 16 inches for inside spread as that is a typical average. That will give you a bottom end score. Any guesses that the spread is wider (probably was) will only increase the bottom scorre.

Your holding something special.... I can tell you that much. I would say 160"-170" based on what kind of spread he had.
