ok I found the story out tonight ....
The buck was shot in 1983 in Rifle Colorado. It was traded to pay a bill best I gather, and the rack mounted in 1996. This man hunts quite a bit, and his wife will allow only so many heads mounted and since he didn't kill this one, it doesn't mean as much (understandable)
He's had offers on it .... and he gave me the ok to give out his phone number if anyone wants to see about buying it.
Its a tough economy, he's got children and I'm just trying to help a fellow Arkansan out a bit - PM me and I'll give you his phone number if anyone is interested in it.
222" is what he said it measured, and the skull plate is intact (I asked)
