 Thanks for all the great compliments. This has to be the biggest deer (frame wise) I have ever had the pleasure to mount. It is from Mexico. Mike I did color the antlers, as he had a fair amount of velvet still on it. I colored them to match another deer from down there.
  Blind luck I know you had some inside info on this deer, so you can't play in our reindeer games. :chuckle:lol. Pinetar you either have some inside info too or your dang good.  8)lol. Mtnmuley your on the right track but a couple inches bigger in the categories you mentioned.
 Here's what I came up with for score.
Main beams R 30 1/8, 30 4/8,
Inside spread 27 6/8,
 G-1, R 1 7/8, L 3 0/8,
G-2, R 20 1/8, L 21 2/8
G-3 R 10 5/8, L 11 1/8
 G-4-----------------------
H-1 R 5 7/8, L 5 6/8
H-2 R 5 0/8, L 5 0/8
H-3 R 5 0/8, L 5 0/8
H-4 R 5 6/8, L 6 1/8
1 Abnormal point 1 6/8
  Gross total inches 201 5/8
  Gross typical 199 7/8
  Net typical     196 2/8
 Final score 194 4/8
  I think the greatest spread was around 34", Main beams were 32" on the outside.
 Thanks again everyone. Hope we all get to see a buck like this in the woods in our life time.
 Good Hunting, Rick

 Thanks guys.
  I think the thing that fools us some on this deer is what seems to be a small head. I have a few people come in commenting that his head looks small, when actually it's on the biggest form (head wise) that I can buy and I had to make it bigger still, to fit the skin. So it's a pretty darn big deer. Had a 22" neck as well, big deer for just coming out of the velvet.
 Thanks again, Rick
