That is a cool rack, but no. That one looks like it had enormous brow tines. The one I'm thinking of looks like someone stuck the shed from last year on top of this years antler.
I try and find it, but it may take a couple of days.
My uncle took a mulie in Idaho in the late 60s that had an extra antler. One side was a heavy, typical 4 point. The other was a large two point. And a third antler (tall spike) grew out of its own base, right next to the 2 point side. He had the head mounted and it was in my cousin's basement forever. My uncle died in '76, and I think his wife finally threw the head away. I always remember seeing that thing and thinking what a freak it was. My Dad had been with him when it was killed. The game warden at the check station figured it had been injured very young and developed a split, or second antler base on its skull.
OK. I was digging through some old photos the other day and found one of the buck I was talking about. I was a bit off with the description, but here it is. This buck was taken near Challis, Idaho in 1968.

That looks like "Little Joe" with a beard. I like the pistol.
