305" Non-Typical: Fun Fact

[Plum Crazy]

Was watching North American Whitetail TV yesterday evening before the wife got home and commandeered the TV. During the big buck profile of Tim Beck's monster 305" Indiana non-typical from 2012, Gordon Whittington said something that almost made me choke on my budweiser.

He made a comment to the effect of "This deer's frame is so massive, if you take away all the other points and just score him as a 6pt, he grosses over 180 inches"...I almost couldn't believe it. So first thing when I got into the office this AM, I looked up the deer's measurements, opened up excel...ole Gordo wasn't kidding. I come up with 181 6/8" gross.

I know it's all hypothetical, but 180" 6pt is hard to fathom. A buddy of mine has a 160" 8pt mounted and it will make you weak in the knees.

Anyway, thought it was a cool fact worth sharing.

Here's a link to the deer and it's measurements:

I liked the story and laughed about his comment for naming everything he used with his humor. Great well put together story. Supper buck!

Thats c razy. I actually come up with over 190. If you take away the g3's , g4's and the one g5. He only looses roughly 30 inches from his 222 gross typical score.

Where is he loosing another 10 inches? He still gets 8 circumference measurements.
