I measured the point and it is 1.25" on the long side and an 1" on the short side so by wa standards he would be legal, but I don't think I would be comfortable making that call out in the field with it being that close. Lucky for me in Idaho its any buck. He was facing me front on I seen the height and I thought he was going to be bigger that a two point. I was a little shocked when I walked up to him and that's all he was.

If this one got killed it was either hit by a car, killed by wolves or poached.

atleast you have a nice trail into your area.

3nails, that pic really says it all. 

Very cool.
