    Trophy,
    Our best guess is he died of old age. We had 5-6 years of pictures of him. At his largest, he was a mainframe 12, with splits and stickers, making him a 16.

      That sucks. And I just took a quick glance and said 10 point lol! I figured he was more. Hopefully y’all will see another like both of them!

        Great buck.
        The can was a nice reference.
        But, I think all of us could tell anyway..that’s a jumbo.
        Congrats to your Uncle.

Well past the 60 day drying period, and correct measurements, we finally have a solid number for it. Here’s a pic of the horns, and one of the score sheet. Biggest NE Texas buck I’ve ever laid my hands on, especially for a no fence timber lease.

          If I did my math correct, I believe you shorted him a couple of inches - 26/8 converts to 3 2/8 and 28/8 to 3 4/8. These two extra inches make him 159 6/8"!!!

                lol, I am an Aggie. I’m always scared of over adding, and I ended up going under.

                  Man I’ll tell you what. I prefer a big 8 to the bigger stuff. They just look like a classic deer to me.
