I'll post a pic when I get home but I think I hold the world record. Although I never entered it in the small rack division of pope and young he is a contender.

I've got a buck on my trail camera who's got about 1" on his right side and about 1.75" on his left. If I could ever find them when he sheds they would be my smallest set.

The quest is for the smallest branch antlered, button bucks don't count....8^)

Coiloil37 - Talk about a needle in a haystack, those are gonna be really tough to find in the wild. I know a couple deer farmers and none have been able to retrieve their button buck sheds, and they're enclosed.

 This one is the smallest shed that I have found, it measures 3 inches in length.

One year in MN I let what I thought was a button buck walk by.  Heard Mom, who was in her mid 80's, shoot.  Went over and it turned out to be a 1.5 year old buck.  The antlers had broken the surface and were less than 1/2" long.  

I've got a shed at the place in MT that has 4 points and the beam is about 7" long.  Been trying to get the opposite for years to make a jackelope.

How about this little guy? Other side was a pretty close match. Drilled a hole in it and tied it to my quiver.

That would have been the smallest 6pt ever.

difference in the world, but the Marines don’t have that problem.

Low profile. Great strategy, that 6 point was 12 years old!
