    That bruiser should score real well too. He has what looks to be a good typical frame to start with. That's where a lot of non-typicals loose out on a lot of inches. And he has has no shortage of mass either, that adds up in a hurry too.

    Yeah, it's huge.

    But again I ask, why is the largest bucks always the worst photos? :confused:

    I am with Greg/MO, someday something like that will pass by me. I just hope I don't miss like my dad did three years ago, on a buck like this!

    Congrats to the hunter!
