Unexpected Find- big non typical

[406hunter]

I was roofing a buddies house this week and when I was looking for a tool in the garage a saw some antlers. After wading my way through the piles in his garage I found a large set of mule deer antlers. There were a few large racks but one stood out. It's a non typical with 8 on one side and 9 on the other. It still had the tag attached and gravelly range Madison co. is written on it. When I asked my friend about the antlers he said ya my grandpa was really into hunting and shot some nice animals, but my grandma didn't like them in the house so he just kept them out here. I've never seen a 200" buck before but I think this one is.

Definitely a beautiful buck.

Wow what a find, did your buddy let you have them, or is he a hunter?

Awesome buck. What year was it taken?

Grandma would've been in the garage along with the dinks. That one would be front and center in the den.

Should have them scored just for fun. Neat way to honor his grandfather and the animal. I don't think they would make B&C for non-typical, but they are very nice. Neat find. I think your friend should have them put on a plaque and displayed.

He's not a hunter but wants to put them on a plaque to remember and honor his grandpa.

Awesome buck. What year was it taken?

Nobody in his family could remember what year. I looked on the tag but couldn't find year. My buddies mom thought it was the later 60's or early 70's.

There are still some slammer bucks in that unit! Awesome find, wish we could hear the story from the horses mouth.
