Almost sounds Atkinson-esque with the "35-36" range" advertising.

While its possible, it reminds me of the movie Dumb and Dumber when he asked the chic what the chances were of them hooking up and she said "one in a million" and he got excited and said "so your saying theres a chance!"

I'm sure you have some good hunts in Mexico but I have been down there guiding as long as anybody and in hundreds of clients we have only killed a handful of deer that are that wide. The majority of the deer are between 26" and 32" wide and our average score is better than most so I wount post it but I think that 180"-190" is a realistic goal.

I have a friend that hunts one of the best high fence operations down there and spreads exceeding 34" are extremely rare

Sorry if I pissed you off but its frustrating when you get hunters in camp with unrealistic expectations

not to say anything about the drug war going on in Mexico. Our Duck and quail outfitter just shut down his operation. A real bummer. Had some of the best duck and quail hunt on the gulf coast. May never see it again.
