Nice bull. I cant believe it went down that much unless you capped it and the cap curled, one good reason to leave on the skull or put something between the antlers to keep from curling.

He gave us the gross and net score.  Not how much it has shrank.  Re read his post.

It shouldn't.  If it has already been drying close to 30 days.
