When I first saw this buck in December of 2010, I thought he was a cool looking buck with the big back kicker and hook cheater. Like many of you, I figured he had a solid mid 180's frame with 15 inches of extras. I honestly didn't think he would break 200. I was stunned when I finally had one of his sheds in my hands.
Going into this year, I knew he would be big, and he even looked big, but after weeks and months of filming him, he still didn't look like a giant, but I knew he was really big.
This year, his sheds were picked up by someboy else, but I was lucky enough to see one of them in person and get pics with it together with last years left side.
This picture of the two smaller sheds from each year gives you a better perspective of how big he is.
The 2011 left shed has approx measurements of MB 27+, G1 3+, G2 20+ G3 14+, G4 10+ and 20+ inches of mass, for a score of 97 inches on the frame and 7 inches of extras.
The right 2012 shed has measurements of MB 27+ G1 3, G2 22+, G2 15-, G4 14+, and 20+ mass, for a 102 frame, and 1 inch extra.
Although not a match, these sheds together have a 223 frame with 8 inches of extras for a total of 332. Keep in mine, these are the smallest of each side.
We've estimated he scored at 230 in 2010-11, and 236 in 2011-12.
This buck is a great example that you can't always judge a buck accurately from pictures, or even in real life.
So Cretehorn, you were way higher than most guesses, and the only one close. In fact, real close.
Pictures of thes sheds can be seen in an upcoming Muley Crazy mag, and some incredible live footage and footage will be in their new video.
