[QUOTE="marksman1941, post: 2902562, member: 68542"] Larger rack, smaller body. My first buck, for as wide as he was only scored 108 5/8”. He didn’t have a ton of mass or height to him. My second buck (an archery kill that I posted a picture of a couple posts back) scored 143 6/8”. He was symmetrical and tall, just a perfectly formed blacktail aside from a partially broken rear tine. That first buck I have have a sneaking suspicion was a bench leg, which is a blacktail / muley hybrid. Between the antler shape and the sheer size of him, I think he was a cross breed. My uncle guessed he was 230 on the hoof but the only time we weighed him was after hanging for a week. He was skinned, head cut off, right shoulder removed due to bloodshot, and legs cut off at the knees. Hanging for a week so he’d dried out a fair bit. He weighed 99 pounds right then. [/QUOTE]
