I CAN TELL YOU THAT BOTH THE BUCKS ARE BIGGER THAN ANYTHING HE HAS SHOT AND HE COULD HAVE LEGALLY SHOT ONE OF THEM WITH HIS BOW THAT HE HAD WITH HIM WHEN HE FIRST FOUND THEM.
In Va he could have shot both of them.
Just because one chooses to not do something does not make it the law, or unethical for another to do the oppisite.
We mount heads sometimes based on the story behind the hunt, not the size of the head, Not always are only yhe biggest bucks mounted,and what a story this man will have. God Bless him.
