great looking work and a real nice YT.

" 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

Thanks you guys  :) ;) ;) I can see Bill has lots of friends that give him a hard time. Wea300mag I didn't realize you would notice all the extra points I added. Bill showed up with this little spike and gave me the saddest puppy dog eyes I have ever seen. I couldn't resist when he asked me if there is some way of making his rack bigger so he could take it to work and enter it in the "Big horn contest''. Of course I said yes just how big you want it to be ? Bill replied don't make it to big as I don't want to cheat someone out of the first place position maybe just big enough to where I could take 2nd place. So with that said I went to work on that little spike. I called Bill up and told him that his rack was done so he could come and get it to enter it in the contest. The next week Bill shows up all excited he couldn't believe that he got the second place position. I just smiled and told him that even the littlest thing can appear larger than what they really are. With that gleam in his eyes he said he's going to start using that comment all the time  :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

OK! Now I understand why he never showed me a pic of his Buck. :P Billys nickname is The Doeslicker because he's killed like 15-20 WT Does but never a Buck until last season. Gotta admit though looking at his WT Doe that he got mounted a couple yrs ago they are kinda cute :hello:

Funny stuff! no really, funny stuff.
Now Jimmy, I've killed other bucks, small yes, but there were some bucks. and if it wern't for the extra doe tags i get, we would have been without meat for a few years there at the party house. actually, i take that back, we did get a nice steak out of that lovely Montana elk "COW" you got a few years back. she was a dandy.  :chuckle:
