GRONG Report post Posted January 25, 2006 Thought you guys and gals would like to drool over this hunk of bone!!! Wish I could call it mine but it's not. The guy found it last year while elk hunting here in northern AZ. Check out all that trash!! I measured the shed at 61" even!! It's got some serious rodent and elk chewage on it but most of it is there. Most of the damage came to both of the huge drop-tines. I'd guess at least 2" is gone off the first one and about a 1.5" are gone off the 2nd one. I've seen thousands of Coues sheds and this one blew my mind! I've never seen one with the length of cheaters off the back 2 tines! It's rare enough to see one drop-tine but this sucker has two! And kickers..... holy crap! This one has two enormous cheaters off of the G2 and G3. Hoping that the match to it is somewhat similar and giving it a 13" spread the buck would be in the 130-135" range!!!! This buck is probably still walking around somewhere too, that is the cool part!!!!! I'd guess the shed was dropped in '04. I'll add more pics in another post.

bullwidgeon Report post Posted January 25, 2006 Thats ugly, he is probably missing 10 inches from the chewage!!!!!

SunDevil Report post Posted January 25, 2006 That is truly AMAZING!!! To bad it is chewed up so much. I assume the 61" measurement is after adding back in the estimates for the missing chewed points. Thanks for posting. CB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GRONG Report post Posted January 25, 2006 You crack me up younghunter!! CG, no man that's actual 61" of score!! I'm guessing it was probably around 64" or so whole, it's just hard to say how long that 1st drop tine was. SCH, no man I couldn't say if anyone has seen him or not. If I'd seen the buck I wouldn't tell a soul and I'd have 10 trail cameras set out there! Hopefully he hasn't been processed by a lion yet either. Here's another look at those cheaters......
