Trophy Montana whitetail
Just got back from annual hunt in Montana. My partner has been trying for 24 years to bag a B&C whitetail. Everyone told him he's hunting wrong state for a monster whitetail. He took a 12 point typical that rough scored 195.5 gross. After deductions nets 187.5. Has 13" back tines, 19.5" inside spread and very heavy. I checked with B&C and it would currently rank 171 all time for typical whitetail. If score holds up would be 6 or 7 all time for Montana. What is the usual loss to size after 60 day drying out period for antlers before official scoring, (if any)? I'll post a picture as soon as my son gets back from R.O.T.C. competition,(he's got the digital camera). Can I take a picture of a picture and download it? I took a decent mulie and he sure does taste good. Appreciated the post by the guy who recommended lipton onion soup mix for deer steaks. I'll be trying it over the weekend! Thanks
