Thanks everyone for the positive responses. I still run throught that whole day in my mind constantly. I got home today and showed my wife the head before I ran it to the taxidermist and she was blown away and so happy. I got the meat to the butcher and he had already heard the story from other customers. He weighed in at 175 lbs. Butcher said this was his biggest by weight in 30 years. His spread is 24.5 inches. I am going to have him scored asap.
Does anyone have a live weight guess?
