No I showed up a few days early to scout. The winter was hard on the bigger bucks. I went after the broken horn buck on the opener. I hunted around for a while before I located him. I put on a stalk to 250 yards and dropped him in a rock bluff. He cartwheeled for a few hundred yards. And busted his main beam, eye guard, and forks off. He is 28" wide. If anyone knows a taxidermist that can restore this let me know. :bash:
The second day I was able to harvest just a fantastic four point. Tall, wide, and great forks

How was the snow...we are heading over in two weeks but reports are not good with lots of snow and limited access.

It has great genetics. I seen mostly small bucks this year. So I was glad to turn up a few big deer.

Post by: go4steelhd on October 19, 2017, 07:06:07 AM: For fixing the antlers... I only found the main beam, I’m missing the eye guard and point tips. I’m Not sure if they can blend something in or not?

They can be recreated.

I know they will be very happy. It’s really a nice buck. I think I have to get it fixed. Even if they put the boots to me on the price :chuckle:
