Is he looking through the scope? Not much eye relief.

Here's a few of twenty seven (according to a friend that counted them) we have on the wall at home. (Including the girly buck shown just previous.) As one guy mentioned, this IS the funnest hunting there is on the planet. I'm not big on the whole scoring thing, but do not disparage those that are, unless they express the adventure in terms of competition. Hunting is never competition, and for me, to express it as such demeans the reason we go. Most you see here were taken with "limited weaponry": handguns, muzzeloaders, replica blackpowder guns, antiques, archery. (Note the '03 Springfield responsible for the guy just under the buttstock). Look closely at the framed photo, extreme right. Yes, my girlfriend is kissing her buck. She kissed her first, and continues to do so. The photo is also signed (barely visible) by Ted Nugent. We shared dinner with him and his family, and he thought this picture was pretty cool. Been chasing these guys since I was ten years old, every year. Hooks (horns curling at the tips) are where you get length that may not be always "evaluatable" in the field before the shot. Lately, I put as much store in the cape as the horns for a buck deemed worth mounting. Some are real standouts for sideburns, black faces, and neck patterns. Yes, each is different.

Oregonmuley, Thats what I'm hoping. I submitted the score sheet to B&C about 6 weeks ago. I have contacted them once and was assured that all my paperwork is the and waiting for final approval. They said it sometimes takes 2 or 3 months depending on how busy they are. Then there is a possibility of a panel scoring if he ranks high enough for that.

Your killing me with the pics of that beast. If you don't mind, any chance of getting the story on your hunt - did you know that monster was around or did you luck into him?? Were you on your own?? Love to hear the details if you can post them.
