Ever fondle a 200" Whitetail

[powderburn]

I went to the local Fish & Game horn scoring day to see a rumored 200+ whitetail. When I arrived it was no where to be seen. I left my cell # will one of the guys and headed home. I'm almost back in my garage and the cell goes off and I head back. The guy was there with the rack and nice enough to let me take a couple quick pictures and then he left with the rack. So here it is 200+ 1/8th.

Nice set of bone.

Could have been upwards of net if all the tips were blunt

I've handled a non-typical that scored 222 and another that was right at 200 and some change. I think the biggest typical I've handled was in the upper 170's. Thats a huge deer.

I handled a typical rack that was found dead on a large low fence ranch in south TX...I believe it grossed 204ish and netted in the mid to upper 190's...I don't remember the scores exactly, but I do remember it being said that had it been killed by a hunter it would have seriously challenged the TX typical state record. All I can say is that it looked far from normal!
