Thanks guys. I taped him last night and am suprised he actuallylarger than my intial rough score, he has good beams/tines, average mass but what threw me was his inside spread.I am waiting for my partner to get back later this week so he can come up with a number..till I make it official. Its what we always do.

MD, I fleshed him that night for a euro mount and froze him so I could do it after season closes. Not to sure a pic at this stage would be welcomed! To be honest I don't see why it should matter, I personally wouldn't enter a deer I never shot! For that matter what prevents any contestants from entering a buddies deer that is bigger than theirs! To me it is an honor thing and wouldn't lay claim if I didn't harvest it. I never even thought about hunting by myself in terms of the rules in this contests, for deer it is pretty much what myself and my hunting buds do. If I would have shot him near home the wife could have snapped a photo but being I was 3 hours from that I did what I could. If that isn't enough for the powers...oh well!!

Moose, yes it's a LH 700 BDL Custom Chambered in a 7mm rem mag topped with a 3.5x10x44 Zeiss Conquest. I took this buck with handloaded 150 gr NBT, one shot with no steps once again was the result.

Best of luck guys.
