Three years ago somebody sent me this picture which fascinates me to this day. The drop tine yeah, but how about the width? Back then I posted it this with the question: “Would you shoot a 12-inch-wide buck?”
The hunter who shot this critter emailed me recently:
Hi Mike: My name is Scott Reeves and I came across your website tonight. I am the lucky hunter who harvested this buck in 2004 in Alberta. He scored 181 ¾ gross with only a 12” spread and had a 9” drop tine. The buck was aged between 7 and 9 years old, and only had 4 teeth left. He weighed 337 lbs. on the hoof. I was very lucky to have had a chance at a buck like this.
Hmm, imagine if ya hunted a state or lease with a 13-inch minimum rule and this dude walked by?
