Hey Moon-Chopper,
I dug out your photo and it appears that you killed a dandy as well. I was actually feeling a little bad that we turned you guys toward another buck we passed on, but you obviously passed as well and ended up killing a toad yourself! That might even be the buck we saw several days earlier, and after passing on him we were tormenting ourselves over our decision for days and we went back several times trying to find him again! At any rate, congratulations. I am thrilled you guys found a great buck as well! I will look for your story! Way to go my friend.

Yes I am definitely holding my arms out, and he is 28 wide.
But he is a very deceiving buck, officially scoring 200 2/8 and nets 195 2/8 for what that is worth. We knew he wasn't real wide, but he has great mass. It is very easy to get hung up on width, and forget it contributes very little to total score.
Thanks again for all the nice comments.
