A friend of mine took a beauty 10 at Shawnee this year.. Nice mass and very symetrical... Big body too..

I used to about three years ago hunt private land 800 acreas to be exact down in randolph county...My uncle had the permission for us but he has moved away to Utah so i don't get to hunt there anymore... I have been working on getting back in there... 2 of my nicest bucks came out of there.. Real nice 8 point and a 15 point non-typical 3 main beam buck... Seen some down there that just made u start shakin just seein them...lol
