Gross scores 141 and some change. Would've been considerably more if the G2 on his right side matched the one on the left and he hadn't broken a G1. And you can't tell from this photo but he's nearly 20" inside and has some really long main beams.

Not much of a story to tell really. Shot him the morning of Nov 2, 2000 in JoDaviess County, IL. I was set up on the ground near a scrape line and an old cow pasture that the bucks loved to use for running does. I had heard a bunch of deer in the dark getting closer and closer and right at first light he came in, worked a scrape about 12 yards from me, then turned and offered me a perfect broadside shot. He dressed 220 lbs and netted 129 after all the deductions.

Shot with a Golden Eagle Splitfire 36, Easton 2315 arrow, and Zwickey 2 blade broadhead.

Here is a 13 pointer that I took on Thanksgiving in '01. I would have to look at the score sheet at home, but I know he grossed in the low 140's.

Heres the 1st (and only) living thing I've ever shot at with a bow (05/10/16).
Well below 100" but hes a bigger trophy to me than the 130" that I took with a rifle.

My 01' buck, didn't score it but I'm guessing just under the 120 mark....I should get around to it...it's on the wall and that's all that counts for that one...with my oddball bucks the last two years, I'm still hoping for that first over 120...last years buck would have been if he hadn't broken his rack....he had almost 60 inches of antler on one side....and this years buck, well he's just a freak...lol

Zero cause the biggest deer I ever killed was a old doe, and it was by far the hardest.You all put way to much importance on score.

Zero. Down here in South Florida we don't have a lot of deer to begin with, and very few deer that would score over 100". Consequently, scores don't mean much.
