Dylan Polk, NAW Social Media Editor said this Mississippi buck scores 193 2/8". The rack looks like Craid Calderone's 193 5/8 bow killed buck from Michigan back in 1985. :think:

Here is the Craid Calderone buck. The one above from Mississippi looks like a replica to me. :o :think:

Looks like a Mitch buck (plastic) to me.
You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.

The rack in the top pic looks like the brow tines are closer together, (maybe 3/8) of an inch other than that same rack!

There is no way that they are both real bucks. One must be a replica.
It's not the knowing that's difficult, but the doing.
