[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5487994, member: 20583"] They lose inches fairly quick after cutting skull cap, especially if you had the antlers inside with heat or somewhere the wind can blow across them. Most loss comes pretty quick, then quickly slows until no more loss. My taxidermist brother measures while rack is still attached, before hide is even peeled. He then measures again when he's about to attach skull plate to form. Sometimes the difference is negligible and other times fairly dramatic. Each one is different. 114" is a dang respectable buck for only having 8pts to measure, two of which are broken. I say it all the time, bucks often look bigger than the numbers reflect. Yours is a big buck by any standard, one to be proud of. He wouldn't walk past my stand! [/QUOTE]
