This blows my mind. Look at the guy's hand around the base of the antler. Can this pic be right?

Sure looks real, he may not be grasping the antler all the way. What I mean is he might be able to close his hand around the antler. No matter what that is an awesome deer.

Yeah, he might have small hands or not grasping it with his entire hand but still an awesome buck. Looks like a buck taken way up in Canada. Those bucks have huge bodies which makes the racks look smaller than they are when they are walking around.

With a head and horns that big I would think it takes more than a finger tip grab to hold it up like he is.

If that is not Vern Troyer, that is a huge deer.

Any idea where this Buck was taken? Gotta be a Canada brute.

The guy could be 3'6" too but either way that's one hell of an animal.

Some guys compare the circumference of the antlers to the deer's eye. If the antler is significantly larger than the eye, it's a nice rack. If this is true then this rack has very good mass. The antlers also extend well beyond the ears, another good sign. The height, when compared to the width, is also very impressive. Tine length looks good to. Forked G2s, great brow tines - this guy has it all. Just think what this deer would have looked like in a couple years - yeah, right, if you let this guy pass you need your head examined.

Do you know what he scored?

Look's Canadian to me. They grow them big. I got one up there two years ago that was 338#, 7 1/2 years old. Saw one taken up there that had over 10" bases. This one looks like it has a toupee. Look closely, between the antlers vs the forehead and note color difference. Strange looking.
