    That a Monster, you show the non typical score, what the typical score, how wide the base, what the total score. That is one heck of a rack

    I''m not an "officical" measurer but I've measured a few and my tape said just under 50" of mass and 193 1/8 gross total . . .not bad for a 3 yr old deer. Congrats Matt on a trophy of a lifetime! The mount looks awesome :) Uncle Alan

    Hey Congrats Matt! I'm thinking there was a little pitter patter in your chest when he showed up! You put it together and put him down! Impressive in every way. Aunt Mary
