Here is another SuperForky, 24"-25" wide but very tall, heavy forks. Just another big old buck with 2 point genes.

wow

Heres a big 2x3 my wife popped in 2003.  I should get the whole hunt listed on here, it was a great one.  This was the next morning after Idabooner and I rode in with the mules to get my buck out.  She stayed ni warmer climes.

With a buck that big do you feel he was past his prime and his horns were not in their peak? Any teeth left in him?

The story is finally posted in its own thread, ENJOY.  I believe he was on the downhill side.  He may have had one more year left in him.  I believe he was indeed a true trophy. He was a heavy *censored* to try to load on a contankerous mule.

My daughter got this blacktail fork last year. It was an older deer for sure.

i pulled this off another site today. apparently this is what happens when you get excited when you see big antlers in sonora and only have a second or 3 to decide wether or not to shoot.
:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield
