LAST EDITED ON Dec-30-12 AT 08:04PM (MST)[p]Oh wait........he's only a 3-point. Would you shoot a 3-point??? I've only whacked one other and that was when I was a kid.
I tipped over this buck on November 15 in the northern portion of 13B in the places shown in the photos. DIY, all by my lonesome, no trail cams, no buddies. Whacked him in his bed at 77 yards. Only saw 3 bucks and 7 does in seven days. Only did one scouting trip on Labor Day weekend. Lots of drought stunted antlers this year on the Strip, and I wonder what this buck would've grown on a wet year. This was my second Strip tag in 18 years (the first buck was from 13A and is bigger).......lightning does sometimes strike twice.
I don't do scores, but I taped a few measurements out of curiosity. 28"+ mains, 28" inside, 6.5" first circumference, over 30" on the frame plus stickers, ridges, blades, double eye guard........and HEAVY. Exceeds the magical 50" adding outside spread to the height measured from the skull.
Overall....I'm pretty well disappointed since I wanted a classic Strip 40-incher, LOL.
BTW......I have a great Zeiss bino for sale in the Classified section if you're interested.
Enjoy.
