Deer was shot October 21, 2006 within a couple of hours of my son being born, it was a great day for the Kevorkian boys

First I want to say, congrats on the new family member!

Not trying to stir up anything. That buck in the pic is a light antlered four by, with a couple trash points. The inside of the rack is barely wider that its ears, fair to average tine length and main. You didn't add the spread to your measurement did you? To me, it looks like a good solid high 130's to low 140's class deer, with a net in the high 120's. I'd stick it with a bow for sure.

Congrats on the baby.

the bases were 5 inches and the all the circumference measurements were 4" or darn close to it, the spread was 19", G2 tines 10" with 7" of abnormal points,, if it were me a 180 pound guy instead of a 250 pound guy with a big coat on it would look a lot bigger, believe me it is what I say it is, Fabs can confirm when he goes to the taxidermist if you don't believe me.

What makes you think I'll have anything to mount this year? LOL

Haven't even spent a day in the woods for deer yet and haven't even drawn my bow yet. Every time I think things are slowing down, they get busy again. Spent yesterday and today at clients and I am a little salty about it because I didn't get to enjoy the beautiful weather by riding or hunting. Heck, I cannot even remember the last time I shot my muzzleloader. I think it was to kill a groundhog, but I'm not sure. I don't have plans for this weekend yet, but that might be spent getting all my bills out. Life could be worse, I could be broke.

Tell Big Daddy that he should let those deer grow a little before shooting them. He has enough hanging on the wall already and enough control over his herd, that he should put a 24" minimum requirement on killing any of them unless it is to cull them. A friend on the Eastern Shore enforced the 24" minimum and he had 22 mounts on the wall all at 24" plus. That was impressive, along with his 7x8 elk mount. I haven't seen anything like it since, except on TV.
