Rob, I am not sure what the bench mark is for the old firestick. I will check into it. I would love to have two for the books in 1 year. It is turnign out to be a season of a lifetime, for me at least.

As for the height he is just big[8D].I did not take measurements, got caught up in the moment and I did have a time issue.Literally shot him it got dark and I flew out the next morning, not much time for celebration. I will actually get the antlers back this week from the taxidermist in Montana, I just got off the phone with him. He is shipping them back tomorrow and the hide to my taxidermist here in PA in a few weeks. Once I get it back I will score it and keep you guys posted.

It realy is killing me that I did not get hi with the bow but I am grateful for what I got regardless.
