TREESTANDMAN Report post Posted May 17, 2005 I would guess maybe 14 or 15 inches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesWhitetail Report post Posted May 17, 2005 To be a legal point it has to be at least 1 inch long and longer than it is wide at 1 inch or more in length. It looks to me to be just barely a legal point. Circumferences would be between the burr and 1st pt, btwn the 1st and 2nd, btwn the 2nd and 3rd, and btwn the 3rd and 4th. If the antler doesn't have a 4th tine then the 4th circumference measurement is taken halfway down the main between the 3rd point and the end of the main beam. For more info on scoring, check out the scoring section on this website: (or post more questions in the forum for me) How to Score Coues Deer I think a 14 or 15 inch spread on those is probably too much. They look like they would be more like 12-13, but again, it's hard to say from a photo. Josh, what do you think? Amanda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TREESTANDMAN Report post Posted May 17, 2005 I think you are right Amanda about 12-13" inside spread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
25-06 Report post Posted May 22, 2005 You guy's are never going to believe this!!!!! My boy and I went out shed hunting this morning and found another matched set in SAME EXACT SPOT that we found the last set. They were about 15 feet apart. As soon as I can get a pic of them I will send them off to Amanda to post Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TREESTANDMAN Report post Posted May 23, 2005 25-06 Do they look like they are from the same buck? Are they brown? Are they larger than the other matched set you posted? Congrats on the find! That is awesome!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
25-06 Report post Posted May 23, 2005 Hey TREESTANDMAN, Awesome is right. I still can't hardly believe I found another set in the same spot. The only matched sets that I have ever found happen to be in a 15 foot radius I don't think they are from the same deer cuz they are a little smaller, but they are brown and fresh...I also found a yellow plastic animal tag that says (caution contact azf&g before consuming) I wonder what kind of animal had been tagged with it.

TREESTANDMAN Report post Posted May 23, 2005 Do they have the same characheristics? It is possible for a newer shed from the same buck to be a little smaller I believe. Was the plastic tag attached to the shed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
25-06 Report post Posted May 23, 2005 Yes, they have the same characheristics but they just are'nt as thick. And that plastic tag was'nt attached to the shed, I found it about 1/2 mile from the sheds just laying on the ground. I think the tag was probably attached to some critters ear at one time, maybe a lion, bear, deer ? But I also find it strange that it said azf&g and not azg&f.
