This is matched,  non-typical whitetail sheds I've put on here before.  I bought a replica skull plate for it. If I did everything correctly and compensating for broken tine length, etc. I think this buck would measure 170-180...I think. ..I know it's tough to tell but what do you folks think?

Hard to tell from those pictures but I don't see 170 there.

If you put a tape on it than it must be.  Hard to see 180 in the pics but if it measures 180 its 180.

I was thinking 150 but the pics must be deceiving. Post a pic of the 140 inside or maybe a length on a g2.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Again. ..not sure if I measured correctly and some of it is based of a few inches here and there that broke off. It's a 6 x 7 including the drop tine. I didn't deduct anything. I like gross scores. Even if it ended up "only" being 150...I can live with that. This is also no were near the biggest buck I've seen in my area

The G3 & G2's are both over 10" & both are broken off. The right one was split (4" fork at the top).

My guess is 140-150.  I would say no way to 160 let alone to 180.   Photos are hard but....

It is one of them yes. Like I said. ..I think my measuring technique is way off. I added the (3) widths too. Is that normal?

No, you only count the inside spread between the main beams.

No need to remeasure, just subtract the other two width scores you added in. ;)

Speaking of epoxy sculpt....does anyone know were I can get antler molds? I seen a picture of one. So you can match textures of the mold to the horns. Whats a good paint to use? What kind of sealant for the actual bone? Just a clear enamel?

153" GREAT call folks! Im really happy my error was caught. A 153" (assumed) matched set non-typical whitetail sheds is AWESOME to me! I really want to recondition them and mount them to a metal skull. Just need a few more tips on "how-to" from the good folks at HW and I can get'er fixed and mounted!
