Taxidermist did a quick score on him 76", if I remember right. He is 14 1/8 and 14" real symmetrical.

Well like I said it was a quick measurement. I don't remember the length on his prongs, sorry. I will say that the pictures don't do this buck justice. He is one of the prettiest goats, I have seen in a long time. He wasn't even the one we were after, he was plan-B. I just hope I draw my tag next year I will be after the plan-A buck!
