Title: Old Pend Orielle county WT
Post by: Skillet on March 15, 2015, 06:50:52 PM: I know it's not that big, and I don't know the story on it other than it is a PO whitey from a long time ago. It came out of my grandpa's shop when we cleaned all the antique engines, tools, etc. out for the coming auction. This head will be sold at the auction as well
Any scoremiesters wanna take a guess at a score? I rough measured the inside spread at 15-1/2".

I've got plenty of fond memories of Grandpa, and plenty of things from him to remember him by, so I'm ok with letting this one go. Nobody living has a memory of this buck that I could find, and it might be a dead head for all I know. Just know I was told it was from Pend orielle county as a kid.

I was thinking a 130-140 class as well, but I am usually off by quite a bit. It's a cool rack, had a nontypical point on the inside of the passenger side that was broken off.
