That is one stud! I think I would of let him have two more years yet! NOT! Great buck and welcome to Illinois. I have taken many deer here by Pontiac, IL and I have yet to get a Pope & Young. I should have one with my 10 pointer but he was all beat up with 8 inches of deduction so he missed it by 5/8 of an inch! I also would like to see what he scores at! He sure would look nice on the wall! I am sure you are going to put him there!

[/QUOTE] Just so everyone knows i am having it roughly scored by my taxidermist and as soon as i know i will post the results. If i had to toss out a guess i would say it is going to be in the mid 160's thanks again.

Wow...to think you had a chance to nock and arrow and stand up with a mature buck like that only 15 yards away! You should be dang proud of that hunt and your skills! There was plenty of opporutnity to blow that one. I don't think I would've been able to breathe with that buck that close to me! ABSOLUTELY a buck of a lifetime!
