He would score about 110 gross, I think he is only a 2.5yr old(I hope).

Nice find Mark . Tough to tell from one pic, but I would lean towards 2.5 also, but could be 3.5 very easily.
EDIT: Just looked again. Real tough. I'll just call him an even 3.

I said 3.5 cuz of mass, tine length, and body. And also, i don't know if the genetics are THAT good in MN

Another great shed Mark! I see he has a "round bump" in the middle of his G2. Every once in awhile you see bumps in a tine just like this one. Anybody know if there is a reason why?

Nice collection started for the year Mark! Careful on the railing or he may just get his right beam busted too.

That would not be good!
I have two more that I found this year that I will try to get some pictures and post for you to see. Good start to the year-
Brad, Im pretty sure that bump is from an injury in the growing stage of velvet.....I found a set a few years ago and alot of the tines were like that.

Brad I agree with Mark, I think he bumped that tine sometime during velvet or growing season.
