Dan, When I think of Kansas trophy whitetails, this could very well be the textbook photo. Mature, good mass, some narly and odd stuff happening and a frame that reaches to the sky.
There's more than one thing to be proud of in that pict.
Thanks, Scott. Lots of things I am proud of in this picture and definitely a memory that will last a lifetime. This buck wasn't as old as the one my wife shot a week earlier and it would have been interesting to see what another year or two might have done for it, but when it was in the crosshairs inside 75 yards with a 9 year old looking at her biggest deer ever it was time to pull the trigger. I will always remember watching Grace walk up to it with a look of disbelief as she had done a good job of focusing on her shot and didn't realize how nice of a buck it was.
