OP okiebowhunter Campfire Regular O Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 2,034 Top of Foodchain	I celebrated Thanksgiving early yesterday morning. I had been hunting this buck for the last 3 weeks. I finally stuck my tag on him. He's a main frame 10 with 13 points on the right and 14 on the left, 18" wide and 132 lbs. He was so run down from the rut, his spine stuck up like a fin! I have'nt scored him yet but the common consensus is 180+" gross. I've been floating on air ever since. BTW 140 Sierra GK at 2530 fps ave. I have more pics if someone intelligent would add them.

Curious but not counting the cheaters and stickers how many points on his main frame? And once again congrats!

One week of those three I was in Nebraska bowhunting. It was almost torture. I passed on around 15 bucks waiting for him. It was worth the wait. Joseph Joseph

OP okiebowhunter Campfire Regular O Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 2,034 Top of Foodchain	Thanks men. I've hunted all over the country my whole life and he's my best to date. It makes letting the little one's pass worth it. When I saw him 3 weeks ago it was during our Primitive firearms season. I had killed a 135 class 8 point and was back on the bow. He came within 49 yds, but chasing does and other bucks kept him out of range(for an hour). I was a mental wreck. Joseph Joseph
