Depending on how long you have to look at him... if you can guestimate 19 inches of tine on one side then it will be P&Y. If it is split second, then the OMG factir really comes into play!
And really, if it isn't an OMG moment, then is it really worth it regardless of the score?

What has helped me more than anything is getting your hands on a rack, guessing it and scoring it and compare. Being a found dead buck, yours or a friends. score alot, itdoes help!!

I too am looking for the OMG factor asI will be with Rob in Illinios. I just hope my OMG buck is bigger than Rob's OMG buck. Just a little smack to start it off......

I can't imagine hunting somewhere that had enough of these running around that they could bring in a year's worth of hunters and expect they'd have enough of these to go around.

I've also been invited to hunt with Todd on his farms.
