"MI State-Record Buck Found Dead"

OutdoorWriter I hope this isn't stealing your post, not my intent.
When I saw this article and the associated pictures I was stunned. Sometimes nature throw a curve ball and if the assumptions made in this article prove correct this is a hum-dinger.
If this deer grew this much antler in one year it MIGHT explain how the Spider Bull taken by Denny Austad could have lived his whole life on Monroe Mountain and never been discovered by those who saw him at a younger age or even having is sheds from previous years.
Not looking for another bashing event just thought some of you folks might find it interest too.
Thanks for sharing this info. Tony
This 240-class buck found dead on a 10-acre property west of Clinton, Michigan, on Feb. 7 is potentially the highest-scoring whitetail ever recorded in the state's record book. The 26-pointer boasts 31-inch main beams and a 28 6/8-inch inside spread. This is the story of a fallen monster.
The Michigan DNR will do an age analysis, but Guenther says his initial examination of the buck?s teeth leads him to think it was 4 ? years old. ?I can't imagine what he'd have been like next year.?
?One guy at the meeting had shot a buck that grossed 205, and one of his buddies held it up to compare. He said, ?Man, I finally shoot a 200 and you make it look like a basket rack.? I kind of felt bad for the guy," Guenther jokes.
This shed antler found last winter about 50 yards from where the buck died shows how far he'd come in a year.
?It's got the split brow tines, and the back brow tine has a little curl on it. He added two stickers on front this year, but one is identical," Guenther said. "The shed is broke off just past the G2, but the G2 is the same, twisted and kind of bladed with a sticker out the back.?
