I have always loved massive, palmated deer antlers. This set belonged to an old high school teacher of mine. After retirement he and his wife auctioned off their household goods to prepare for a move to Arizona. I could not believe he would sell off such a trophy as this set of palmated antlers, so I snatched them up. He told me this buck was shot around Lake Ozonia in the Adirondacks, and weighed well over 200 lbs dressed. My pics do not do it justice, the right antler has a web that is bigger than the palm of most mens hands.

Not quite palmated but close

This youngster had some palmation. Hopefully, I will lay eyes on him this year, have not seen him in a coule of years. He is about 5 years old this year if he is still out there.

Some neat pics, I've got one buck (5x4 if I recall) that isn't real wide but pretty tall and looks like a small moose. Antlers are in storage at this time and I have no pics available
