Jeez, Craig, your computer doesn't show jack squat. Look in the Member Photos page and maybe you'll see it there.

Hey, numb nuts, when did I say there would be a prize?
Yeah, the big one was from IL. Dad found it while we were mushroom hunting. A couple tines were busted off, probably by a plow, as it was found in a field. I have another one that's even bigger, but every tine has been gnawed off. I picked it up while rabbit hunting and put it back down since it was so chewed up. Then I picked it up the next year and decided to keep it. I can barely get my thumb & forefinger around the base.
The two from the Tick Farm were picked up while turkey hunting. The one on the far right was found in '04 and was hanging in a tree at the cabin, but has been worked over by squirrels. It had 6 pts. and is about 1/2 in. diameter. The other was found a few weeks ago. It is (barely) 3 pts. and has a little nub where there should be a brow tine. Unfortunately, they are pretty representative of what we see up there. I've only seen 3 respectable bucks up there during the 5 deer seasons my F.I.L. has owned it.
