A truly awesome buck indeed!!! I also received a pic of the buck shortly after it was downed and was very happy for him! Talk about a buck of a lifetime. I do feel the need to correct the badly inflated score however. Gene told IL tophy hunter and friend Don Higgins (you can confirm this with Don on the IBS site) just the other day on the phone that the 10x9 GROSSES 231". A solid B&C class buck but I seriously don't know where the 260 figure came from??? Just an absolutely awesome IA whitetail, that's for sure!!!
