think this buck was to small???

"240-Inch Strip Monster Muley for John"
Photo provided by: John Holbrook�

    Huge muleys don't come too much better than this. Checkout that one side. It's giant!

    John Holbrook sent us these photos of his Arizona Strip buck. The buck gross scores 239-6/8 and has a frame that scores 221-3/8. It's 34 inches wide.

    John was guided by Matt Schimberg, of Arizona Strip Bucks (http://www.arizonastripbucks.com), and after 7 days of pounding that country hard, they finally caught up with the beast and John sealed the deal.

Geez.  He's long-arming the hell out of that deer in those pics.  The rack is probably only the size of his hand

Now that's a frame!  I like the uniqueness of that buck.

Well, I bet the guy paid over $10,000 to have someone show him where it was, when to shoot, and then gut and drag it for him. I may be slightly jealous but would still rather find, shoot, and gut my own spike than have someone point me out to a bruiser like that...
