Gentlemen start your engines.......... That always attracts some hard core rednecks. OK heres the lowdown. I've been hunting in the same Colo. area for around 9 years. Never have we seen the bucks like we did 3rd season this year. I had to wait it out 6 days due to hunting pressure and during this time my compadres seen 2 bigger than this bully. Now mind you that this is the biggest buck I have and may ever shoot. I have a lot of respect for some of you out there that would have passed on this one. My buddy Randy who was about 150 yards in front of me didn't see this guy come around the top of the ridge in front of us. It was on the north side of the mtn so it was very shaded. I immediately dropped to my stomach and squashed the Swarovksi's, can you say cha cha ching$$$$$$. He was coming down hill and wouldn't turn broadside for me. After about 25 seconds in the hairs, I had to take him. My buddy finally saw him and raised his gun. I couldn't wait and gambled on the neck shot ........ boom, front flipped and was down. Check out the entry at the neck. God Bless The Ruger M77 Mark II's .270 caliber. This guy was at least 310 to 320 lbs. What would he score? 28.5 inches wide.
Thanks for your time..............Curtzilla34
