I have never taken one that would make it, I have two that were close (within 10 inches) but not quite big enough. The funny thing is I let two different ones go last year that would have made it but they were only 3 1/2 and on the ranch I hunt they would have not invited me back if I had shot a 3 1/2 year old. Maybe I will get lucky this year....Maybe I will see either of those two from last year....
Yes I could definitely add to my list as well. I've let a good number of bucks by that were in that 125" to 130" range not knowing 100% if they would make books or not. Thats why my cut off usually is in that 130" range knowing I'm not going to be that far off most likely. But then again I'm one of them guys that 90% of the time under scores a buck. Maybe I'm my own worst enemy.[8D]

I was 16 years old.

Did he net out after deductions? Just curious.... If you found those as sheds you would probably never think they were a matched set

My first came when I was 19 or 20, I don't recall exactly. It was pretty much dumb luck for the most part, just happened to pick the right tree tosit next to that morning whenhe decided to work a scrape 12 yards in front of me. My 2nd came about 7 years later. In between that span I missed at least two and shot two that I never found. So yes, I suck.

You may have well just asked a Chinese kid when he took his first communion.
