Nice buck.........Congrats! Would have been a shame to go in too early after that one and lose him, good thing you waited til morning.

RE: Disgusted with myself
 

Simply an awsome buck....my jaw dropped to the floor when i first seen him.

Congrats Greg!!

RE: Disgusted with myself
 

Thats a BRUTE. Dangnice buck, glad you found him.

RE: Disgusted with myself
 

Wow! What a great buck Greg! I knew you would find him. Congrats on an awesome buck!

RE: Disgusted with myself
 

Awesome buck. Congratulations on a job well done.

I may have missed it in the 19 pages, but how long did you let it sit out there and how long do you think it was dead before you found it?

I assume the meat is no good??? Regardless, great trophy. Respect!!!

RE: Disgusted with myself
 

Thank you guys for all of your replies. You don't know how bad I wanted to go out and look for him yesterday afternoon. But I stuck to my guns. Plus I stayed away from any of my buds that I figured might be a little gung-ho.;)It paid off, no fuss no muss.

I still can't believe the size of him! I just quickly put a tape to him and was kind of shocked. Came up with 168 7/8 gross with a 2 1/8 sticker = 171" of horn!!

I was way off on the main beam lengths, I guessed 23" when actual is 27". He should net in the mid-150s as an 8 pointer! Pretty cool. I've guessed him to be about 6 1/2.

Check this out, I did see this buck last year. I almost got a shot at him on Dec.5th. I wrote about it this forum but I'm no good with the search feature. Here's a couple of notes from last years hunts.

54) 11/25/06 5 Fawns, 3 Does, 1 1/2 spike, 1 1/2 4 pt., 4 1/2 (5x3) and 5 1/2+ 10 pt (9 pt w/sticker on g-2) Tall stand, SW wind.** **

58) 12/5/06 2 does, 4 fawns and the 160" 9 pt. South stand, SSW wind. **

Incidentally, I shot him from the South stand listed above. Kinda neat.

I'll rescore him when I get the antlers back from the taxi in a couple of days to get a more accurate score.

Again thanks

Might have a cold one or two tonight!

RE: Disgusted with myself

Cool, more to the story, an encounter last year as an awesome buck. It just another instance to show what another year can and will do to a buck. WOW Greg, perfection.
