I congratulate you on your perseverance as much as on the nice animal. I hope you enjoy that boy for many years.

Nice buck. I grew up hunting near Muskogee.

okie john-I work in Muskogee. I have lived in the area my whole life. We usually don't have deer in Eastern OK like this one. It's turned into more than I thought it would.
I scored him myself last nught at 193 6/8" gross. I'm not certified or even close, but I've seen it done and done a few myself. I'll have him officially scored in 60 days.
Klikitarik-PM coming.
Thanks men.

Wow, what a great deer! Congratulations! I keep telling guys that if they shoot all the little 4x4s and 5x5s, they'll never get a chance to grow into something special like your's did.

Mule shoe-5 6/8 and 5 7/8 circ. Budman5-My rifle is built on a Turkish Mauser, unissued military barrel at 22", swing safety, Timmeny, cock on open, counter bored. That should cover it.  My rifle is not a tack driver, but it shoots everything at 1 1/4 or less. It my cheapest custom, but one of my favs. BTW the 120 gr. Pro Hunters are hard on deer as well. Joseph
