Can't say I have, but I have been real close. I have one buck that I have one shed from 2002 (72 1/4"), and a set from 2003 (74 1/2", 74 1/4") Had a official scorer do them for the MO big Bucks club. With the right spread which is not for sure...... this guy was knocking on B&C's door. Saw him last year. Talk about being in a tree that feels like there is 40MPH winds and and even a leave twisting. Seen nothing of him this year. I need to learn how to post pictures. I got them on my e-mails. Just don't know how to move them over.

cornfed, looks like you are knocking on his door. hope for you he makes another winter. How much growth in inches from the year prior did he have? the big set I found is only two inches.

This guy is actually 7 1/2 years old. The neighbor has the matched set from 3 1/2 and a single from 4 1/2. The weathered antler in my pic is from the beast at 5 1/2, this is when he took his biggest jump... over 20+", ironically we found that shed THIS November while tracking my buddies 150 class buck! The rack added in year 6, just a tad in tine length.* We were very surprised when the buck showed up this season sporting that droptine!?!* It appears that he kept ALL his tine length and frame size. The G2 is 15 7/8" and mass is excellent and heavy all the way up to the H4. He grosses in the 180's as an 8 and 190's as a 4x5. We figure then with the fork and droptine, he's a solid 200"er. What's interesting is in the pics, especially the weathered one, the ONLY hint of a drop was that very tiny "bumb" just ahead and underneath of the G3??? Why this would only be a micro "bump" and then jump to an ear length droptine at his age is a question mark for us???* One thing about this dude..... you should see how huge his body is! I have taken two bucks that have dressed out at over 260#, and this dude is thicker yet! I can't help but wonder if the antlers wouldn't be more impressive IF he didn't have such a large body weight to sustain???* * At his age and the fact that he's kicked our butts for this long, I doubt seriously that he EVER dies by a HUNTERS hand! I would think that he's got to be peeked out in the antler department but we'll see??? Honestly, as much as I would be sooooo honored and overwhelmed to take this buck, there would seriously be a moment of sadness for taking such a noble animal that has taught and humbled us so much over the years? He is most certainly a special animal to us.* :cool:

Let us know if you find this years sheds. I have been pounding the ground looking for a third year of the one's I have found. He is still kicking, The man I run cattle for seen him after x-mas still carrying. I normally find 15-20 sheds a year. Found a 130-140 inch 8pt. the other night that someone stuck real bad with a carbon arrow and mechanical head and ended up dieing on the farm i run. Going back tonight to get the rack. It was frozen in to much ice and I did not want to break it.

Shawn, what part of MO do you hunt?

[Shawn in AK]

Blackpowder up North of Richmond, Archery everywhere I can, but my honey hole is right next to Knob Noster State park 97 acres that I have the run on with no other hunters allowed. I need to learn how to post pictures!!!! I got some good ones to share. Seven P&Y 's in four years. Calhoun for rifle which is very little. Did more this year than ever for I had shoulder surgery on OCT 22nd. Back to shooting the other day and if you you 3-D here in MO I am sure our paths have crossed.

I have an awesome story. I took a 150" nine pointer October 13, 1998. My dad and I have 4 matched sets from him and a cattle farmer has another set. The landowner found the first set in 92 in his pasture field. At that time he was a 6 pointer that scored (given an 18 inch inside spread) 138". 28 inch main beams, almost 8 inch bases and not a tine over 4 inches. We found his sheds from the 1994-1995 season (7 pointer 147"), 1995-1996 season (7 pointer 148"), 1996-1997 ( 8 pointer 150")season, 1997-1998 (8 pointer 150")and I killed him October 13, 1998 (mainframed 7 pointer with two drop tines 8 and 5 inches) We hunted that deer for 6 years and never laid eyes on him till the summer of 96. It was like seeing a ghost. I have never seen anything like it. When this deer entered the field, every deer along with 7 or 8 130-150 class deer would come directly to him and surround him. Talk about weird, I witnessed that probably 5 or 6 times. When I killed him, he was 11 1/2 years old. For a deer to live to that age is unbelievable but for him to do it in the Shawnee National Forest makes it even more unbelievable. That is all my dad and I hunt and were this deer lived gets eat up with gun hunters. Every year we would be scared to death he didn't survive...then january came around and we would find his horns. We still talk about him. We think he was one of those deer that does not breed, all he done was survive. The reason being, I believe we would have seen him during the rut, we never saw him chasing does and If he did I don't think he would have lived as long as he did because of getting run down and stress. If he did breed, the does must have went to him. I wish I could post up some pictures but I don't have the capabilities.

We found a year old shed from the buck my son killed with a gun this year . An 8 point that scored 130 with just a 13 1/4 inside spread !
