Takes some of the fun out of it IMHO. We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

Most guys in my area kill Fork horns. A handful are trophy hunters and knock down some big bucks. I'd say I see very few true 100+ bucks a year.

The state record NH "typical" was killed 40 minutes from where I'm sitting;he grossed 201 and netted pretty close to that....I have never seen any that large myself. The 280 Remington is overbore. The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

I have taken one that is 135" and this one from 2008 gross scored 161", net 153". I have seen many in this 160+ class, but the canyons I hunt prevent you from getting close most of the time.
