Dumb question....how do they measure a rack??

 

[Adam_MA]

I use my hands! [twisted]

Seriously... If I remember correctly, it is the number of points, and the distance from the farthest tip on one side, to the farthest tip on the other.

isn't there somthing with the girth of the base too?

And then they walk the rack past a construction site and count the wolf whistles! 8)

hehehhe I couldn't let Adam have all the fun!

Arrrr

I was wondering because they said it was over 400 inches....now, that was a big rack, but I couldn't figure out how it was measured.

(can you tell I'm not a hunter? [lol] )

 

[Adam_MA]

400" must be total. I guess that would mean all surfaces of the antler measured and added together.

That's what I thought, but I wasn't sure. Okay, so I'm not so dumb afterall.
