Driver's side is pretty nice but the other was funky with a club at the base with a sword and a dropper. Probably just under that if both were similar. As is, way under, LOL!

Yeah, I watched him wallow for about 10 minutes and at times the only part of him sticking out of the mud was his antlers, he even buried his face in it. He was a disgusting mess to skin! Never again... unless he's over 350"...
