RE: Cape size and pose
The buck was from the ANF in 1972. Anyone that remembers buck hunting back then knows that a basket rack 8, especially with this one's symmetry, was a trophy back then. Most bucks were shot as spikes or forks then. This one is no big deal by today's standards butat the timeit would have won the big buck contest in Kane. They always had a category for most symmetrical and this buck would have cleaned house in that category. I know it islikely 2.5 and possibly 3.5 years of age, although I lean toward 2.5.
Thanks for the advice.
