sweet buck!

Tremendous story, Howard . . . .a true testimony to the statement that good things happen to good people. I applaud your diligence and patience. I have to admit that when I read your story, I got more caught up in remembering that video of your son when he shot that deer. I'm a dad now, and can't wait until I can post something similar about my son. You're a good dad.

Congrats on a helluva deer and heres to many more down the road . . .for you and your family!

These deer I both assumed scored the same or close..... Amazing what mass and beam length do- Gd scored 158ish and tall ten 137ish. Amazing the difference- i guessed em both to be mid to high 140s

Howard · 04-17-2012, 08:15 PM
