The frankin bull thread got me thinking of what my frankin shed/dead head would be so this weekend I took some pictures of my best.
Main beam 29 5/8
G1 6 0/8
G2 20 2/8
G3 14 2/8
G4 15 6/8
H1 7 3/8
H2 5 6/8
H3 5 6/8
H4 6 2/8

Total 111 0/8

These are some of my best antler. Feel free to post your best

That bottom buck is crazy. Is that a montana buck?
I don't think I have any muley sheds that would add to the score maybe a G2 I'll check. Cool idea for wintertime boredom. The frame bull thread was pretty cool.
 
I thought I'd have a measurement to add but I fall short by a few the G2 on this one is 18 1/4.
You've set the bar too high with your sheds :D I found this in Salmon Idaho when I was 12 or 13.

I've only saved one mule deer antler and don't think it stacks up on any of the typical measurements. I'd have to measure it again but it got good mass and some extras. I found this while antelope hunting in 95 west of Casper, WY.

Greenhorn, That is a fantastic shed. How many inches of nontypical. My best has 22 7/8. (not pictured). Yours looks like it could have more.

I found the massive buck SE of Salida CO in 1988 in the Arkansas River Canyon. It was the first time I was ever in the spot and I was having a tough day. I had been out all day and only had a few small old antlers to show for it. I was walking back to the truck when I spotted some bones about 100 yards below me. That country is very steep and I almost didn't go down to investigate but I knew it would bug me if I kept walking. The head was a few feet away in the juniper. The other head I found on the NRA shooting range in New Mexico in 1986.

He's 81-3/8 on the frame with 25-7/8 nontypical. Fred King was over measuring elk yesterday and giving tips so I think I did it pretty tight.
 
Love this thread, and all the ones you've been starting. Keep 'em coming. You've got some unbelievable finds and obviously put in a ton of time.

I can't come close to any of these mule deer, but I bet I could build a pretty nice whitetail. I've got a great fresh set from every antlered animal in MT except mule deer. They've always been my Achilles heel of sheds.
 
Finally had time to make my Frankenwhitey. All public land mountain deer.

MB- 23 4/8
G1-9 4/8

I wish I could add to the Frankenmuley shed! Those are some awesome sheds/dead heads!

Here's a few measurements to help Frankenwhitey:

MB - 25 4/8
G2 - 12 4/8
G3 - 10 4/8
H1 - 7 2/8

That should bring Frankenwhitey up to 91 0/8

Had my son take some pictures of my best whitetails this past weekend. Yes the sun was bright! The first picture is of a whitetail head I found 15 years ago. It has my top MB and G2. The second, The two I am holding in my right hand have the best G1, G4 and G5. In my left hand I have the best G3. The third picture has the best H1 and H2. I found the head in the fourth picture when I was young. It got me interested in antler hunting. It has the best H3 and H4.
