From Wyoming that is. We had a good trip out and good weather. To make a long story short. I got a 4x4 with brow tines. My wife got nadda.
We saw other bucks but they were not legal. I can’t post pictures on here! I will sent one to mark maybe he’ll post it. The picture doesn’t do it justice! But it’s better than one of those that the hunter gets way behind the deer to make it look bigger.
On the way home, my wife wanted to get suff for the grandkids. We stopped at the worlds biggest truck stop! I got gas, and checked the trailer, and the hitch, the sway bar ball was loose, so I tightened it up. For [bleep] and giggles I checked the receiver ball! It was fricking loose. I had no wrench that big. I went to the truck garage and asked if they could help. The mechanic said pull her in. He got the impact wrench out, tightened it up and said no charge.
Just a word for the mechanic!!

I assume North Platte for the truck stop?

Nope, Bosselmans and the anti America Flying J are the 2 biggest in North Platte. The one billed as the worlds largest Truck stop is the I80 outside Davenport Iowa.

I just measured it. 21 in inside spread, 24 1/2 outside and 22 in high. Good mass. Allot of you guys would not have shot him, one of my best deer ever!!

Congrats on a nice buck and kudos for having the wherewithal to check your trailer stuff; and a big thumb's up for that mechanic. You may have avoided a nasty experience on the highway.
