But take a pic with dollar bill laying above it and one below it. That will give a reference to go by. Hard to get exact measurement by a pic ? JB I got the cable and 1/4 tape out for you, the bases are 5-6/8 and 5-0/8 the main beams are 23- 5/8 and 23-4/8. I really only put these on cause I figure some of the guys here may appreciate them. I score numerous deer every year along with occasional elk,moose, mule deer ect. I'm not pulling your leg or making up numbers if I've offended you or any one else here, it was not my intentions.

Being a good buddy I am I told him to head to the hospital before traveling because he’d done hit his head!! Had to eat crow when he brought me the rack to score. That joker had over 90” in just mass and beams!! Pics can be VERY deceiving both ways!

No history at all, an ole school mate has a little farm and he doesn't hunt he could care less about antlers, but they were on his farm, I think it's cool this ole buck found a hidy hole and as far as I'm concerned I hope he lives and dies peacefully of old age.

Y'all need to set some traps, or argue politics until you get throwd out, and leave ole Nate alone. Maybe start an argument with your wife, if you have one, so that you will surely be told that you are wrong straight away. Them VA fellers are good people. Good on ya Mr. 52Carl. nate, congrats on finding the sheds.

Are you adding like the width measurement as if one drew a line from base to tip then measure to inside? I rarely find a shed let alone anything worth scoring so this peaked my interest! Happy trapping! ScottW Scott W I understand stand you, but these other are pathetic. 1. Is the mass measurement.18 H 1- 5- 5/8 2- 5- 3/8 3- 4-6/8 4- 2-7/8 is actually 17 5/8 2. Main beam is. 23 3/8 3. Is tine length. G 1 is 4 7/8 2 is 7 6/8 3 is 8 7/8 total is 21 4/8 Let me know if you have any other questions. On a shed you have four mass measurements, the length of the main beam and the length of the tines. There is no width measurement. So is shed scoring totally irrelevant to normal scoring because if not, either the pics are deceiving or that's not a 63" inch shed. No way that buck scored 137". I have a buck that scored 145" and its twice as big. Or, is B&C drastically different then P&Y? “Ethical behavior is doing the right thing when no one else is watching—even when doing the wrong thing is legal.” -Aldo Leopold

What’s really cool is to see how much they add on year to year. My son found sheds of the deer he killed this past year and his sheds measured 153” bases on a 14” spread. His buck scored 176” this year. When you get a little age on you, you’ll realize pics can be VERY deceiving.

He’d make a great kid buck or even a nice archery buck for someone. What’s funny is he put my feeder behind his house so they could watch deer and set up a box stand for kids and that little buck showed up.
