I scored him today at lunch with one of the guys at work who has a number of P&Y's. He shrunk alittle, but here are the main #'s. He was a 9 before breaking the one brow off, and the one small sticker on the one side shrunk down from 1" to 7/8", so he ended up being a 7. Not bad for being such an old guy. He's pretty tender. Had a couple of the loins. I can only wonder what he was like 3-5 yrs back. :mrgreen: Now to just find some of his offspring.

Inside Spread - 18.125"
R Length - 21.375"
L Length - 19.375"
G1-R - 0" G1-L - 5.875
G2-R - 8.375 G2-L - 9.375
G3-R - 6.5 G3-L - 6.5
H1-R - 4.25 H1-L - 4.5
H2-R - 4.125 H2-L - 4.375
H3-R - 3.625 H3-L - 4
H4-R - 3.875 H4-L - 3.375

R total - 52.125"
L total - 57.375"
Deductions - 10.25"
Subtotal - 127-5/8"
Final - 117 - 3/8"

Czabs, Jordan was the guy. I like the way it turned out, and he was very fast. I'll tell you, those old teeth were pretty worn down. I don't know if I will ever top him age wise, but I sure do hope to catch up to one of his boys. :mrgreen: In the area I got him, there seems to be 2 traits I've seen, 10 pts vs 8 pts. some of the 1.5-2.5yr olds I've seen over the years are either 8pts or 10's, even when small. If he could survive that long, others should be able to get 1/2 way there.

Dreaming of next year.
