Randy-A boomer of a Sitka. Hope you find wi-fi soon. Can't wait to hear/see the full story.

My buddy JB, shot this buck earlier in the hunt at 60 yards. He shoots a hand-made Hawken 58 caliber with round balls; a "front stuffer" of the original intent. Carrying both these bucks, our camps, and all the production gear was the hardest I've ever worked for a deer.

HIs buck grosses just over 100", which is the equivalent of a 180" gross mule deer. JB is an official B&C measurer, so he is pretty stingy with his tape measure.

Both of those bucks are great! Randy, your buck is just incredible!!

 

[Mica Man]

Two fine looking specimens!

So what does yours score? I suspect my comment was accurate and then some. I was gonna ask if JB made you go traditional.

When we strip the velvet tomorrow, we might find out. JB guesses it might exceed his by a bit. He knows blacktails pretty good, having all-time #11, #12, and #30 on his wall down here in the trophy room.
