Measured my buck

[Gencountyzeek]

First time measuring so im sure i messed up but i got 123 7/8 gross, netted 121 4/8. Ill wait my 60 days and see how close i was. I used my dads SCI measuring kit, he was watching and didnt correct any of what i did. Picked the mount out today also, went with full sneek, i have 3 semi sneaks so wanted something differant.

How about weight and age?

Who's gonna stuff 'em?

[Gencountyzeek]

Ummm, guessing 3.5, no guess on weight i have to get a scale. 

And Doty taxidermy in kendell ny. Its a 45 min drive from my house but hes a good friend of a good friend of mine. Told him if i got a wall hanger id go with him. Well he did my gun buck last year and it came out great, so im goin back to him.

Send his twin my way please!  Congrats.

[Lawdwaz]

That sounds good.  If you didn't have someone, I'd send you to see Bernie Seitz on Rt 5, Akron.  He's been doing stuff for me for 30 years now......

He gets a big boy you will be happier than your own buck.

I wish I had the same problem, I haven't seen an antler in the woods yet. I may regret letting the last few does go, I killed one 40 minutes into my first sit but that may have took too much pressure off! Time to put another in the ice casket I suppose. Good luck to your guiding

I would be thrilled, ive been hunting with him for the last probably 16 years. His father died when he was 10, his uncle was taking him then but he died 13 years ago. Both from cancer from agent Orange in Vietnam. So it would mean the world to me if he got a monster. We have a 150" on camera so thats what im hoping for.

Measure the "heart girth" just behind the front legs. If you pull the tape snug, it's pretty accurate.

43" will be close to 190# dressed
