Even a blind hog finds an acorn every now and then.  I was pretty happy with this buck although he doesn't score very big. 32 inches wide and atleast 7 1/2 years old. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb428/GreybullPrecision/JohnMuleDeerBuck2012_zps11967b41.jpg) 264 Win mag with 140gr VLDs. Shot was 450yds standing off the sticks and had to sort him out of a group of 25 or so in the brush.

Congratulations!

Congrats John! Score is relative in my opinion, that's a trophy in just about anybody's eye.

Phugggggggggggggggg the score. That's a cool, old warrior with gobs of character, and, one that made a great memory. No scoring system can put a number on that. Nice shootin', JB.

Nice work JB! I would take one like that over just a high scoring "typical" any day.

I'd rather shoot a buck like this....wide and heavy, with character......than a typical, any day. Congrats on a great deer.

Great buck. I don't give the first thought to score.

Like others have already said, maybe not a high scoring buck but one heck of a trophy anyway you look at it. Congrats to you, that is a fine trophy!!!
