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.
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

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.
