Idaho Deer Hunter Magazine Fall 2012, Issue #2 | Page 16

Holding that buck in my hands for the first time was a feeling that I cannot describe with words . He was more than I could ever ask for as a bow hunter . His awesome rack was 33 ¼ inches wide with just a touch over 44 inches of mass . As far as the rest of the measurements go , they will remain a mystery until all of this sinks in for me . The score really doesn ’ t matter to me . A buck like this has been a dream for me my whole life . Having three buddies there to share it with me made it that much better .
To Tim and Mike , thank you for your help tracking and packing my deer out . To Dusty , a very special Thank you for being there every step of the way and experiencing the unthinkable with me . It truly was the hunt of my lifetime .
