I'm 54. Can I have one of those built before I'm too old to use it? That's just plain gorgeous! I want one.

This one is my biggest whitetail, 22" inside spread, 30" main beams, longest point is just over 9" but still grossed over 178". Heck of a whitetail there, RBO. Rack is so big it makes the antlers look thin. Where and when did you outsmart him? What rig put him down, pls? First off, I'm a guide and only have the first couple days and the last couple days of season when I can hunt. I first saw him in 2000 crossing a cutline (similar to what you call a sendero). I had a stand about 2 miles away and on 3 separate occasions that fall I happened to see him cross while on my way to my stand. So I just had 2 clients from PA fly in so I was going to set up a stand on that line for my clients. First day here I took them back there to set up a stand when low and behold there he was crossing the line with his head to the ground sniffing for a doe! First guy drops his pack, lays down and takes a shot.... miss! Deer stops and lifts his head to look at us. Second guy leans on a tree and takes a shot...missed! Deer turns and WALKS into the bush! The deer isn't seen again that year. 2001, I shot my deer second day of season so I have my sons godfather with me and we are hunting a piece of land my friend owns, about a half mile from where I had seen the big guy the year before, walking down a trail when there he was again at about 30yds. My friend lifted his rifle and couldn't find him in his scope because it was on 18x, by the time he figured it out the buck took off. So I ended up setting up a ground blind there for my clients that fall. 2 weeks later I had a client in that stand when he saw 2 bucks chasing a doe. For 45 minutes they were running around, battling, chasing the doe, then battling some more. Finally the buck stopped long enough for him to get a shot..... but he shot the wrong buck! Right after he shot he saw the big guy take off. 2002 I'm on the same guys property, different 1/4 section but only a few hundred yards from where the stand was the year before. 9 am I'm walking back to my truck, just crossed the field, looked back and there he was right in the wide open, morning sun glistening off his golden hide, looking off in the opposite direction. 470yds, Winchester model 70 Featherweight 280rem, 140gr factory Winchester Supreme ballistic silver tips, one shot in the right side rib cage, lodged in the left shoulder, Brutus piled up about 120yds away. When I had him officially scored the scorer had to measure the main beams twice because he had never seen 30" main beams before. PS, sorry for the long winded response, but it's the whole story.
