Found this photo of a set of sheds found in Excelsior Minnesota, a suburb of Minneapolis. The story said they measured 89 5/8" and 91 3/8" for a B&C score of over 180 without spread points. He is probably safe from hunters though, Excelsior is not a rural suburb.

Wow,that rack has some nice long and many tines!

Holy crap
Well he was safe from hunters til you posted!! Lol, Just kidding, mighty fine bone there.
Nice!!! :scared:
Yup if ya going to hunt him bring some extra underwear cause first site of him and you will fill the ones you have on. :thumbsup:
with sheds that big, they must have been easy to find :eek:
Yep that is a dandy. A friend killed this typical that scored just shy of 196" not far from downtown Mpls-St.Paul.

Great find...Glad you got both sides... :thumbsup:
Or this 185" 8-pointer that was killed by a poacher (poacher was caught!) about 40 minutes south of St. Paul:

Plenty of dandy deer in MN.
I would recommend a 92 chevy pickup as weapon of choice. That's probably what will get him.
Great looking sets of horns, wish they grew like that in my back yard.
WOW, great looking sets!!!
Anyone know if this was a wild deer or a deer farm buck?
TJ, I'm pretty sure it is a wild deer, but in an urban area that is off limits to hunting.
First off, that's not me in the photo. I just got it off another site.
This was definitely not a farm buck, there is video of him on YouTube, search for "Excelsior buck". Nice to see him but like someone else said he really only has to worry about cars and trucks, I don't think there's any hunting in that part of town.
The 186" eight pointer that was poached...what a shame. I don't remember the details, but the poacher didn't get much of a punishment. I'm not sure of the record book rules but I think it would be/have been, a world record for an eight point buck.
Is it poaching if I accidentally hit him with my car?

Define "accidentally".
Wow, those are really nice sheds. That would be quite a treat to walk up on something like that in the woods.
Quit telling everyone about it - I've seen a few dandy's around town during the rut. Is that the dead buck found in the water? Wasn't there another one with it (locked up)?
Have seen a car kill mounted as well - dandy!
Dandy sheds and thanks for sharing them.
Does anyone else daydream of just getting to see something of this caliber on the hoof besides me?
Would love a set like them someday!
