02bhuntin I see your wife has the same rule as mine, you have to beat your best before you get a mount, I never got him scored, but I killed an 8 point in 74 that was 21 3/4 inches in the inside of his beams and 19 1/2 inches from the top of his head to the two upper most tines, very heavy rack. I got him mounted and he burnt up in a house fire! Hopefully I will get one soon to mount, but there are not a ton of them bigger than that in Va., they're there though, I saw one last year that was at least his equal at 40 yards bow hunting.
