Ya, it really is a pig.  Great mass and all points are quite long.  It sorta sneaks up on you.  I was way off too!!  I am ashamed to say I thought it was just over 350 when I saw it too.....Damn.  Practice makes perfect though.

"That thing is making mine look like a little piss cutter"

I hear ya... Was all proud of my 6x6 bull a few years ago, took him to the taxidermist who politely complimented my bull, then he set my bull's rack INSIDE the truly huge rack of a 7x7...

I whimpered a little and left...  ;)

Awesome Bull.  That is one big pig for sure!!!
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.
