Bitter Sweet Big One!

[wastickslinger]

After all these years I finally found a big one. Too bad I am about 5 years too late.  What a hog this would have been. It tapes out at 82" as it is. The main beam is chewed off right at the G4. I am sure that was about 8 more inches. Then half of the back of the G2 is rotted off. Who knows what came off there. My guess is that it was a 90" horn being conservative and only figuring back in the rest of the main at an average main of 22-23 inches for that type of frame. Maybe I will find his offspring.

MB-15, G1-1.5, G2-14.5, G3- 10.5, G4-11, Extra 1- 3.5, Extra 2- 5.5, H1-4.5, H2-5, H3-6, H4-5.5= 82-82.5

What are you imagining you are holding the other side in your right hand in that last pic?

great horn. Crazy that horns can even be on the ground that long these days and not get seen.

Damn thats a biggun!!!    Woulda been great to see what he was tho!   Things about fossilized!!!   Awesome find!!

[509er]

Like I told you slinger, you are the only guy I know that can find a horn off of a 200" buck and still complain about it.

Nice find.  I feel the same way when I find old big ones that are beat up, chewed up, cracked up, or just plain ratty...bitter sweet.

Nice fine there STICK! but I have to say, I think 509er is cursed, cause everyone around him seems to find a big shed. He seems to never walk in the rite spot

[509er]

Yeah, I don't ever put anything on the web, so I must never find anything good.
