bucks (male deer) with antlers measuring 180 inches or more Explanation: It's not a typo, it does mean inches, but it's not a measure of the animal's height or length: it refers to its antlers and is calculated by adding together a number of measurements. It's quite an elaborate sum; here is a page that explains how it's done. http://www.deeranddeerhunting.com/articles/learn-measure-sco... "Ron Hansen poses with his incredible Colorado mule deer buck. of antler ... 180 inches of antler made for a very memorable afterschool mulie for the Hansens." https://books.google.es/books?id=g9P3Tzpqj0IC&pg=PA89&lpg=PA... 180 inches is big, but bucks with antlers measuring over 300 inches in total have very occasionally been recorded. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 59 mins (2015-10-28 10:13:22 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- To give you an idea what 180-inch antlers look like, see the picture on this page, with the following caption: "Ken Thompson arrowed this 21-point non-typical buck in Ingham County last fall. The antlers netted 167 6/8 inches and grossed close to 180." http://www.gameandfishmag.com/hunting/hunting_bowhunting-hun... |
