There is no way that my wife would let me hang that thing on any wall in my house besides a garage wall. That is one ugly rack.

I would take the money and the fame, and let someone else have the rack.. impressive, huge, but kind of like what you expect from kentucky: a bit light on finer details.

Course it is only twice the size of anything I have ever shot..

looks to be a case of incomplete separation of the crown and bone stub from several years running. either mutation or genetic defect since it affects both sides it is not likely an injury.

the genetics may be in the area....
