    Well if you all know the past three years I have ended up with two match sets from a deer that I referred to Wide Boy! Here about A week or so ago Wide Boy was taken down with a Muzzle-loader. May you rest is peace my dream buck and thanks for letting me find your sheds and take pictures of you! Here is a few pics that might remind some of you who he is:

    I wish I could of! It would of been great to have the history with him and then kill him but I guess I am grateful with what I have.

    Bummer dawg. After seeing the post I was hoping you may have shot him yourself or possibly found him dead so you could have his final set of antlers. Great buck for sure. Out of curiosity was the buck killed out near the prison property?

    That's incredible!
    When I was looking at the pics of the sheds, I was thinking...meh...they don't look too special-then I got down to the live shots and the trophy shot and I swallowed my tounge, :lol:.

    I wish you had put something in the shed shots for a size comparison to get a better feel for the scope of the antlers. You know...a coke can, a basketball....or a freaking volkswagon...:lol:
