Congratulations. That 60 days is nerve wracking. I wasn't so lucky. My best one was in for sure, really symmetrical 10 Point, until the 60 days passed. Then he was 168-6/8. Don't think I have ever been so disappointed. Such is life. Pretty sure it will still be my biggest one when I die.
Not to detract from the incredible buck, back in the days when I was guiding it was thought processes like this that made me not want to have anything to do with scoring a buck..........
Also one reason I'd love to have to buck, score and location noted in the book and not the hunter....just a thunk
Now back to the great 8!
(side note, a 168 is nothing to be disappointed about
