I think if I saw that in a spike only area - I wouldn't shoot it.

That thing is such a massive spike I'd have been worried that I was shooting a rag horn and just not seeing the points.

Not sure I've seen a spiker that big before........    Great work.

Edit:   I may have seen a spike that big many years back........   But I'm not going to tell the story of how I shot my ramrod at him......        :bdid:

Record book spike. Congrats. Meat in the freezer. I agree you would really have to look him over before shooting because at first glance you would think rag horn.

Really nice spike Grats.
"When my bow falls, so shall the world. When me heart ceases to pump blood to my body, it will all come crashing down. As a hunter, we are bound by duty, nay, bound by our very soul to this world. When a hunter dies we feel it, we sense it, and the world trembles with sorrow. When I die, so shall the world, from the shock of loosing such a great part of ones soul." Ezekiel, Okeanos Hunter
