I dont think 247 inches is an unrealistic guestimate, one of my hunters killed a 267" (gross) in Sonora a few years back and it dosent apear to have a whole lot on this one. Now THIS is a buck. Keep in mind though, most buck shot in MT (especially by folks with limited time restraints and knowledge of the area) are 2 and three year old bucks pushing 20" and hoping to gross 130-140. This is a rarity for Central Mt, its not like it used to be and a dissapointment unless you like "the ratrace" and 20" bucks.
