Awesome work as always Rick!   

Can't wait for the "it's done" phone call myself.

Awesome character buck for sure.  My guess is 186".

 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

  Now that's a stud of a buck!! I tip my hat to Dave on a real monster. and what a beautiful mount a real trophy for sure

[cedarriver]

 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
