after 3 years of bowhunting, I finally got something worth mounting. I took him at a whooping 20 feet with using grim reapers. Since he was basically underneath me I had to take a high lung shot just to the right of the spinal column. At first I thought that I might have just wounded him so I sat tight for half an hour before I went looking for him. There was no blood trail so I was ecstatic to find him down not more than 75yds from where I shot him. The lungs were completely shredded so it was a good clean kill. The photo does not seem to do the buck justice. The typical side measured this: Length of main beam- 22.25in G1- 5.75in G2- 10.25in G3- 8.75in H1- 5.125 in H2- 4.25 in H3- 3.75 in H4- 3.25 in Not quite sure how to measure a non typical rack like this especially when the brow tine blades off but here goes. Total length of main beam- 18.25 in G1- 10.125 in G1A- 3.75 in G2- 5.75 in G3- 1.75 in H1- 4.75 in H2- 3.5 in H3- 2.75 in H4- 1.75 in  "though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will to be rightful must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal law must protect, and to violate would be oppression." ---Thomas Jefferson | ||

Thanks for the support everyone! I finally figured out how to get pictures of my phone onto photobucket. This pic shows a bit better where I hit him.
