Atypical Report post Posted January 15, 2008 Matty, Not to pile on too much, but that is a great accomplishment and an example of solid perseverance in persuit of the goal and that is what is takes, sweat and time. Good to use lots of gear that you pack around. Funny 'ex' comment too, lol. Thanks for helping Doug w/the bow and keep up the good work! Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If that doe had really learned that manuever from my 'ex', she would've step on his nuts, grabbed his wallet, & then got the heck outta there. But I digress....

mattys281 Report post Posted January 26, 2008 Got my antlers back today from the taxedermist. He scored 'em at 144 3/8 net, just shy of the 145 minimum. Considering that I was hunting under the "if it's brown, it's down" policy, I can't complain. Maybe I'll fare better on the blacktail hunt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
