Yeah that buck that Greg and I saw in IL that night.........I can't even describe to you the shock when he opened the door and pulled that rack out of the back seat. [:-][:-][:-]

It was literally breathtaking. I can't remember if it was a 6X5 or a 7X6? but like Greg said it was 204 gross and I thought he said it netted 194? I remember asking him if that was in the 180's because I had never seen a rack like it and didn't want to sound like a kook and ask it was 220" LOL
That's when he said "No it's actually 204" and nets in the 190's (I thought he said 194")

But like Greg said it was a single missing G4 or something that was just a straight deduction and accounted for almost the entire side to side difference. He's right, if he had that tine he would have been something like an almost spotless 215" or so typical. He surely would have netted better than 210".
It wasn't even terribly wide, 18 or 19" I think but it just went straight up with the most impressive wall of tines you'd ever lay your eyes on.

Shock was a pretty good word to describe both of our reactions to it.

when the guy described the area he shot it in it sounded like a spot not more than a couple hundred yards from where we hunt.


If I shot that thing I would STILL be spooning its dead carcass.
