Shed from a buck I missed last fall? (photos)

[LDB]

I think I might have found an antler from a buck I missed during the bow season last year. I found the shed about a half-mile from the spot where I missed him. I had waited him out from only 12 yards away, only to misjudge the yardage when he stepped into a clear spot. I took a photo of his antlers in the bush while I was waiting him out. I had estimated him to be in the 170-180 range. The shed antler scores 78 4/8, so that's about the right size, and the formation of the Y is the exact same as the one of the live buck photoed last fall. Judge for yourself.

As it laid:

Total for the day (the big antler is sitting front and center):

Hard to tell from the pic,but I take your word for it. Harvest that deer this year and we can go by the shed you found this year.
Wow,you have some monster sheds there!!Congrats!!
