Great buck, he is gonna take some heavy deductions for unmatched tines.

Maybe this is the one he meant, but it certainly does not have 44 points and 10 drop tines. This looks like a 12 pointer to me.

You know how rumors are-

Oh, by the way, Ken Piper of Buckmasters killed another huge buck in McDonough COunty in early November. By looking at the pic, I think he'd go about 180" typical.

Could McDonough County be the next Pike County? The western part of the county is very similar topographically.
