Well you can't tell us you wrestled for a state championship and not give us the outcome!  Did you win?

Looks like that droptine must have broke off huh?

DEAL!  But unless is was a Boone or a Pope measurer, it doesn't count much.  Lots of measurers at those shows that don't havem a clue.  Like i said, they are great bucks.  I'm ready for my serving of humble pie though.   ;)

Recommended, but not true. 

Well then your photo skills suck because you made them look smaller not bigger. :chuckle:

That bottom deer is what I consider the ultimate in rack configurations.  Love the mass, and squarelook and brows.  To me thats the ultimate buck.  His score I could possibly believe in the 180s.  Just because his backs seem a bit weak for a 190 and his main seem short on one side.  He'd sure be taken his last breathe no matter what state I saw him in though.  I love him.

I like him way better than that top buck.  Granted its a bit hard with camera angle etc.  But the top buck has a weak back for sure.  Then its mass is more out in its points than where it needs to be....remember mass is the smallest circumferance which kills that buck at his bases.  Throw in no eyeguards and its a sunk ship.  Thats the one I think the score is way off on.  Granted he might be a bit wider but his mains might limit that.  Thats hard to see in the pic.   :dunno:  I'm only talkin scores/shootin the breeze.  INCREDIBLE buck especially at 17.

The bottom one doesn't go outside the ears.  The width is not that wide.  Good symetry though.

The top buck is wider.  Without the head and ears it is difficult to tell in these pictures.  I definitely think the top buck is bigger.  I think 180"?  So hard to tell.  We need some more pictures.

I think the scorer used the same method my brother does to score his deer...  8 beers + B&C score + 25" = internet score.

Crap, hope I don't have to eat pie with Bone...  :)  They are still bigger than anything I've shot.
