[Elkstuffer]

What did I win? Perhaps an all expence paid scouting trip with Bone? .......OK! I'll pay my own way. LOL

You win the respect of all your Huntwa companions, and my appreciation for participating.

Missed your ? slinger.  Just a hair over 13 each.  I think the mass made me think  they were longer as well. 

[MichaelJ]

164 5/8" gross is my guess...
Good mass, great main beams, nice backs, if front forks were both big he'd be a 170" easy imho but with the crabbed front...   

Great buck I think I'm close!

[jackelope]

Me too . Bone what are the G2's? I thought about 18. Mass must have got me too.

i thought about 18" too...thats what got me

[saylean]

thats a sick looking drop tine man

[wastickslinger]

Bone I think you need to re-measure. Those are longer than 13 

[PacificNWhunter]

Dang...I was way off! Guessed like slinger and thought the g2's were longer then they were.

[wastickslinger]

Man if I would have used 13 inches for G2's I would have come up with 158! Just goes to show how pictures can be difficult to score from. Good thing my career doesnt rely on it, I'd a been fired a along time ago 

[boneaddict]

Its good practice though becasue they always look way bigger when they are on the animal chasing a doe through the brush in front of you.  I am usually pretty close, but did think this one was going to be solid 160 net.  I think those back forks.  Not like I cared.  When I was watching him I figured it was my first dropper buck.  I didn't realize it was his tine.

[boneaddict]

Thanks for playing Michael, but you are a little late.  I posted the answer up about 4 replies.   Still good practice if you didn't see it.  Sounds like you had the same thoughts and was duped like the rest of us.

[boneaddict]

I'm goin gto mount both the Montana one and Washignton one for sure.  Any ideas on what type of forms to use for either one that might show off the bones.  I know it comes to personal preference, and that ultimately will be the deciding factor,, but what do you think might enhance the characteristis of both racks.  It honestly doesn't matter in regard to where they are going as I have so many, but just what would enhance the bones on each.  ALl input is appreciated.  I hope that makes sense what I am asking.  (upright versus tipped back, sneak versus upright.....left turn versus right)   I will have to modify any form for th eWa buck as it has a short snout and very Roman nose.......

[rougheye]

It seems like that is the hardest ?   You never know how it will look with your buck . I just love big rack bucks ( like yours ) in the sneak . Congrats on an amazing year .

[boneaddict]

I suppose I should re-post the pics but they start on page 25 I think.  I can't wiew pics at work so don't want to grab the wrong ones.  Please let me know...

Thanks rougheye
