Congrats on the buck Mark! I've had to pass up several bruisers (including a dandy 140+ buck) because they wouldn't accomodate me in presenting the angle I needed. I let a huge 9 point go at 17 yards a few years ago hoping to get a better angle that never materialized. He was found rotting in a stream several weeks later from where some poachers failed to find him. I was told about it by a neighbor and by that time, someone had found the buck and remove the rack as well.

I'm glad it worked out well for you.
