    Dude... see what I get for not getting on here but every six months or so? I had no idea you mounted Gimp like this... That's AWESOME!! Great idea, and he turned out even better! I need to come see him sometime.

    Thanks!

    He was a main frame 8-point in 2013 with a tiny split on his brow and the same kicker on his right 2. I'm guessing he was mid-140's then. In 2014, he added the drop, the big split on his left 2 and the deeper split on his brow. The kicker on his right 2 might have gotten a little bigger. He taped out a little over 167".

    It's awesome to see a great buck taken. Aside from that, the story and history you've had with this deer makes it that much more special. Congrats and awesome story!
