I'm surprised he was able to get the velvet off the inside of his antlers? Neat pic Don... thanks for sharing!
Cool lookin' buck, talk about lots of character! I have a pic around here somewhere of a monster buck from a previous IL Deer & Turkey Classic that had nearly the same inside spread but netted in the 220's B&C! An ol' woman had actually stopped by and picked up the head from a ditch, I guess she had seen the carcass laying alongside the road for a few days and no one had stopped to pick it up assuming it wouldn't add up to much! She ended up selling the head at the Classic for several thousand dollars!
