It's got an antler from another buck broken off in it.

This is a hoax. What a joke. It is just a bunch of sheds carefully crafted together to make a gawdy and elaberate effort to get attention. The story that goes with it is also well thought out and wonderfully impossible to track any sort of reality. I have had the good fortune to hold dozens of real honest world class super bucks in my hands. Trust me this is not real. I will bet a year's pay this never goes for official scoring. If they take the hoax that far.. it will be debunked then. People can be so gullible sometimes. I mean really... take a look at the way there is a cluster of regular normal looking 110 to 120 type racks in there. Just epoxied into the right spot. Also look at the structure of the pedicles and the angle of them. This is the skull of a relatively young buck with some other antlers glued into it.

Does make it a bit scary to think there are hunters out there that fall for this kind of S$&T.

That does not look real, but if it is that is amazing! It seems pretty convincing on outdoorlife's website.
