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.
