This awesome buck in the trail-cam photo we posted yesterday gross-scored 183 2/8 (172 3/8 net). It was shot in Indiana in 2008 by Dennis Treesh, who used a muzzleloader. Click for full story. Congrats to Dr. Bones, who guessed 181 4/8, and Robert, who tweeted me his 185. Duluth Trading Company gift cards heading your way as soon as I get your mailing address.

A man picked up his fresh sheds (picture below) in 1990; they had 39 points and net-scored around 334 inches.
