Being that I am a taxidermist that hole in the neck means lots of work. Shootem thru the ribs. I don't need that part for a shoulder mount.

Nice buck but from the pics looks like a 140 class! Not criticizing but have seen bigger racks that have scored less. A friend of mine killed a 193 7/8 last year in Illinois with the bow. Congrats on the buck! Waiting on the VA opener my self, seen lots of big bucks this year already.

Your right the tape will tell.
I was a little off.
159 5/16!!!!!!!
Sorry for the mistake.
The hole in the neck is due to a long pursuit after the first shot. A long afternoon in the marsh and there he is.........

Thanks Often that was a long day and yes the airboatwould be the ticket. The taxidermist did whine about the shot in the neck but sh** happens better dead than still running wounded and wasted.
As for the way or place of display if you have a problem with it then you are SOL I was tied and wet and very muddy. I shot this one around 4 in the afternoon and got to dry land around 8. If you would like to display yours show it.
I hope the picture shows The one on the left scored 166 0/16 the one on the right is the Raymond gave the number for 159 5/16. They look good on the wall together hope to put the third one in the middle this year but the other 2 were 5 years apart.
