The buck is just over 21" wide, and by looking at his teeth, he looks to be 3 1/2 years old. He was in full rut and very stinky, so I expected him to taste nasty, but we ate the tenderloins the evening she killed him and they were very tasty. He was 124lbs. of hanging meat, not bad.
The guys that helped were great. We had seen them and talked to them everyday and they were very nice. We really didn't need there help, but they insisted and saved us a lot of time and sweat which I really appreciated. Hopefully we'll see some pics of their monster bucks on here, I told all of them about this site. Thanks for all of the great coments.
