I'll post a pic when I get home but I think I hold the world record. Although I never entered it in the small rack division of pope and young he is a contender.

I've got a buck on my trail camera who's got about 1" on his right side and about 1.75" on his left. If I could ever find them when he sheds they would be my smallest set.

The quest is for the smallest branch antlered, button bucks don't count....8^)

Coiloil37 - Talk about a needle in a haystack, those are gonna be really tough to find in the wild. I know a couple deer farmers and none have been able to retrieve their button buck sheds, and they're enclosed.

This one is the smallest shed that I have found, it measures 3 inches in length.

One year in MN I let what I thought was a button buck walk by.  Heard Mom, who was in her mid 80's, shoot.  Went over and it turned out to be a 1.5 year old buck.  The antlers had broken the surface and were less than 1/2" long.  

I've got a shed at the place in MT that has 4 points and the beam is about 7" long.  Been trying to get the opposite for years to make a jackelope.

How about this little guy? Other side was a pretty close match. Drilled a hole in it and tied it to my quiver.

That would have been the smallest 6pt ever.

Low profile. Great strategy, that 6 point was 12 years old!
