There has been a few on the place over the years that would exceed 130, but they have been very rare and we have never killed one of them.

Just think of how much better my life could have been if we had spent thousands of dollars and added 10 more points to the average score of the racks! Wouldn't that have been great? smile

Well, maybe not. Maybe when it gets down to it, really doesn't make any difference.


Appears that we hunt the same make up of property and have the same philosophy of hunting. That six year old five point that I killed sure was fun though. Glad I wasn't waiting on him to be 130.
