60's CO buck. Laquered up!
How much would you pay for it?How much did you get it for?
We score to the 1/8 not the 1/4. But a nice find for sure. Did they tell you how old it was or where it came from ?Like the Meeker area ?I'm gonna go ahead and give it to BIGJOHNT! I came up with 204 3/4 but he may be right!
That buck has the genetics from the 1960’s Colorado countryWe score to the 1/8 not the 1/4. But a nice find for sure. Did they tell you how old it was or where it came from ?Like the Meeker area ?
I wouldn't pay more than $20, but I'm not into other people's antlers. While they're cool to look at, they only have value to me as a memory of my adventures. (But, I have nothing against people who collect them as a piece of art, and realize they have value in that regard as well.) I was just curious how good of a deal you got on them.How much would you pay for it?
After you restore it you can post it on here and tell everyone you killed it. Oh and add a few inches to the scoreHonorable mention to Butts for the 205" guess!
Less than $150.
I don't get the Kirt Darner jab either. Probably someone just being an a** (=the norm for you old codgers!)
Yes and no.So, is Kirk still alive and kicking? Also, are the 60s genetics in CO any different than today's CO genetics?
That's interesting. One of the old timers from home told me that he thought he shot a deer in the head. He went up to gut it and quickly saw that the only hole was in an antler. I suppose the shock from getting a hit there could have KO'd the deer.Looks like bullet entry/blown out exit holes in left antler

Not sure how they can change unless someone imported deer from somewhere elseSo, is Kirk still alive and kicking? Also, are the 60s genetics in CO any different than today's CO genetics?
I feel you, I get most of my sheds off a friends ranch all the good ones seem to disappear by 1 May…Can't find any sheds anymore (there are none left on the ground come May 1 each year when CO allows me to pick them up) so I feel o k "finding them" at yard sale. To each his own...
