Richard, that sounds like a great opportunity. Post up a pic of that buck if you have one! I'll put up a pic tomorrow. It was an experience.

When I was in High School they opened up the arsenal for limited draw bow hunt. first time in at least 20 years. I bow hunted at my house that morning and then my Dad and I went to see what was coming out of the arsenal. The bucks were lined up being examined by the Game biologist. The game warden said there were at least 10 state record bow bucks on the ground, but they didn't count because they came from the arsenal. I'll never forget what they looked like laying there. No camera of course from a few years ago. There are some huge deer in the area. The body was incredible

Scale hit 215 and we couldn't get him high enough to get his head off the ground
