I picked up my mount last night. 24" neck. Was 235 lbs. Taxidermist said it scored 174 3/8" I'll take that. My son "found" him for me. 444 through the neck at 80 yds. I named him bandit because of the black band around its nose that also runs up towards the eyes.
That's a really good looking buck, dude has a serious rack on that head. Very nice trophy bro, bet you were shaking in adrenaline when you saw that stud?
Thanks. I didn't have time to get nervous. He came out of a tree line after a doe. I put the crosshairs on the neck and started bleeting real loud with my mouth. He finally stopped at 80 yds or so and I drilled him. From 1st seeing him to squeezing the trigger was only 4-5 seconds.
