Title: laying out in the open (elk ATL)
Post by: antlerking on April 11, 2012, 01:59:45 PM: I got lucky (i mean very lucky) to find this nice 6 on an open hillside were you can see for miles. There was a lot of foot traffic but somehow this 1 got missed. I have not scored it but it weighed in at 18 pounds.I looked to match it up but by the look of the base it has been on the ground for a while, so the match was picked up im sure.
