WOW!!! Thanks for the long story I loved it. You did great. Way to stay with it. I have  to say that I probably would have been to disapointed to keep hunting after the second miss. Way to fight through it.
Buck of a life time. :o

Congrats on a Monster!! Man...if those eyeguards only Matched!!!!!

The antlers are loosening up... some bucks naturally drop by the end of November, seen it happen several times. By this time of year, a little bump can knock them off. Years ago a guy killed a 260+ muley in Southern Idaho about this time of year and when he grabbed the rack to move the deer around a bit he popped the antler right off!!! :yike: :yike: NO official score. Keep us posted, I didn't think it could be officially scored unless the antler was naturally attached.... :dunno: doesn't take *censored* from you or the buck though... What a Beauty!!!!!    :IBCOOL:        :P

WOW!!!! congrats on a phenominal whitetail!!!!

as far as the misses go and or potential of wounding..... it is part of the game and if you are at this game long enough, both will happen again. it is just a risk we as bowhunters must accept and understand that it will happen. we are human. just glad to see you take those risks seriously.

Congrats on an incredible whitey - raw deal on the antler popping off.  Oh well, nothing that a good taxidermist can't take care of

Hey BeeMan :hello:  You guys are gonna kill me with all those bucks to do. Ya got me thinkin I need to make a trip up there next fall.  Howed you shoot your bow with those heavy coveralls on? :dunno:   Congrats on a great buck.  Only trouble is you set the bar a little high for future hunts. :tung:  Seriously though,  way to stick with it.  Knew you would get it done.
