It would be more interesting to know where the guy in the photo found the sheds.


That question was already answered. So now, the interesting question is whereabouts the photo was obtained. Anyway ....


I know the question was answered as in Idaho. I was thinking a little more specific like what drainage. It was a joke.


No problem.

That is a heck of a set of sheds. I would love to find a set like that.

That is one incredible set of sheds - any idea as to the approximate gross score?
Good for you.
I thought I has seen one of the largest Mule Deer that ever lived once in SE Idaho but he was only 3/4 the size of your specimen!
Keep an "eye" on thsoe horns - there have been a lot of thefts of huge antlers in the last few years.
Again great find.

Giving it an average inside spread among similar candidates that are eligible and listed in B&C, the buck is definitely a 240+ net deer and possibly closer to 260.

A friend of mine has these and they are just 15 min from my house. I should run out and take a look. They are allegedly 305"

There doesn't look to be approximately 115 inches of abnormality. I doubt they're anywhere near 305.

They might surprise you.

There's a bunch of stuff hanging off a big frame with lots of mass. They may even be a little bigger than they look because of the angle of the picture. Assuming the 300+ includes something for spread, which is clearly substantial.

Regardless, what a find and what a buck. Hope he makes another year for somebody!

Regardless is overall score are you really only giving this buck a 190" frame?

Maverick, it's easy to see where you're off if you're only giving this buck a 190" frame
