damn...looks like some sort of clubs from the dark ages on that head, that's a stud for sure. I'd have had the shakes so bad I'd probably shoot my own dang foot. Congrats to your bud.
Its sad at our hunting shack in MN we had a 3 1/2 year old dear with horns almost that size. 2 more years and he wouldve been insane. He disappeared after a really big fight with a heavy bodied 9 point buck though. Never saw him in the woods any year before or after. :/
