RE: Work is Done!
The shed measurements were @73 for the smaller side, and @78 for the larger side. Both sides are a typical 6 points. With an estimated 18" inside he would gross right around 170". The pictures threw me off. I had figured his beams would be anywhere from 26" to 28". But, once I found the sheds I realized that the beams were only 22". So instead of being a high 170's or gross 180" buck, he would just barely gross over 170". Still one heck of a buck. I also have a set from this same deer I believe from four years ago. I've been back to the same area every year, and finally in December of 2006 he showed himself once again.

RE: Work is Done!
I would have guessed the main beams longer than 22" but I guess thats why its impossible to get a accurate score from a pic, you can't see the subtle curves of the main beams which can really make or break a score. No matter what that buck scores, 150's, 160's, 170's, he is a brute and I wouldn't hesitate puttin an arrow through him.
On a side note, my buddy and I were discussing our "perfect buck" just last week and that pic is him. I told my buddy that my ideal buck would be a typical 6 point that doesn't have one defining characteristic (giant spread or huge tines or super massive) but he would be good all around and that buck is him, good mass, good tine length, good width, you can't ask for much more than that.
