I understand Bill has killed a good one but had trouble recovering it. I'm of the opinion that it should be entered. Show us a pic Bill.  |

I read about it on the other site. I don't see any problem entering it as long as he uses a tag on it. never said you had to be able to eat it. . i cant wait to see it, sounded really nice. |

sorry guys, been a very busy fall. Thanks for posting this up NC. Here are a few pics of the rack. It is now at the taxidermist. I found a cape last week available from an early season bowkill that should measure up. I green scored the buck at 151 5/8". After deductions my net was 146 7/8". I'm not a certified scorer, but feel my measurements are very close and are based on B&C scoring. Regardless it is my best bow buck. As NC stated, I did not recover this buck after the shot. It was recovered several days later. I knew my shot was tight to the shoulder, but did not feel I shot through it. Inspecting the body showed that I had shot through portion of the bone which limited penetration quite a bit based on my recovered arrow. The buck traveled a good 500 yards from where I shot the buck as it stood up from a bedded position in a cut corn field. The deer was checked in as my 1 buck allowed in Kentucky. I do have bonus buck tags in hand from Fort Knox and LBL, so if you see me posting up pics of another buck, I'm not poaching.

Measurements were along these lines
Inside spread 16 1/2"
G1's 5 1/2 4 1/4
G2's 7 3/4 8 1/8
G3's 9 1/8 9 1/8
G4's 5 1/4 5
Main beams were 24 and 24 1/2"
Mass measurements were greater than 5" between burrs and G1. Other mass measurements were all 3 1/2" or more. It may even score a little more, but the 151 5/8" accounts for the antler my tape laid on.
