This is my Buck Of A Lifetime guys! It was taken this year in Idaho DIY Public Land hunt. My son & I were together when we glassed this guy up, that in itself was special to me. The icing on the cake was this guy is a bruiser, neither of us had a clue how big he was until we made our way over to him, you can see the country is steep & rugged but it was all worth it! I don't think I'll ever top him but I'd like to see my son do it! (grin) It's a hunt the two of us will never forget! Thanks for looking!

I love that buck!  Steep country too, I've been in some of those Idaho canyons, you earned that one.
And I think God must be a cowboy at heart
 He made wide open spaces from the start
 He made grass and trees and mountains and a horse to be a friend
 And trails to lead ol' cowboys home again

Guys thanks! Yep he is truly a keeper! (grin) He went just under 210" & yes it was cold that whole week, it had rained & snowed on us everyday we were there scouting the area & then finally hunting it. It was rain/snow mix right there when I put him down. It was a Father/Son memory builder. Thanks guys!
 Hope you don't mind a 2nd photo, here's my son & I both.
