This photo has just started floating around the internet and word is that the buck was shot somewhere near Baldwin City, KS. That is all I know about him, but in this journal entry I am going to attempt to attach a rough gross score to this beast just by looking at the photo. Here goes.
Brows: 8 inches
G2s: 9 1/2 inches
G3s: 13 inches
G4s: 12 inches
G5s: 4 inches
Beams: Who knows - I'll guess 27 inches, they could be much longer.
Mass: I'll say it averages 5 1/4 all the way out = 21 inches per side
Spread: 24 inches
Abnormal: drop tines of 9, 10 and 13 inches = 32 inches total
Total gross from these numbers: somewhere around 230 to 235 inches.
His typical frame may be bigger so he may go as much much as ten inches larger, putting him closer to the 240+ range. Whatever it scores it sure is a monster. If you know anything about this buck please let us know.
I just found out from my friend over in Kansas that the buck grossed 253, so I missed that one by a little bit. Congratulations to the lucky hunter. I'm sure the story will come out soon enough. We'll bring it to you when we can.
