    Found this side deep in some grass in a bedding area where I turkey hunt. This shed is from last year. Looked for hours for the other side with no luck. Scary thing is...this deer was still alive as of November. Video on my friend's trail cam. He's even bigger if you can imagine. Only wish I could deer hunt there!

    My buddy (who is much more of an expert than I am) is supposed to measure it. I don't know how accurate he is with net scoring, but grossly he put that side at around 120"...
    He has the shed still. When I get it back i'll put up some more shots of it.

    I need to get a copy of that trail cam photo...he was even bigger and gnarlier this year!

    Definately big, but unless I can't see something on there I'm coming up with about 95" for the one side.

    Still a giant!

    Like I said, I'm DEFINITELY not an expert. I was just going off his guesstimations with a soft tape. You may very well be right. I'll get some more pics for you as soon as I can. That's sweet though that you can make an estimate with a pic! All I see is big deer antler!

    Thats a great find! Congrats! I would be curious to know what it scores as well... That may very well be off a 200 class buck....
