Dam!!
With all these great pics of monster mule deer I should know my place... And not be post'n un-impressive mounts.

I am going to have to take the pic of my puny buck down. Going to have to take more care of what I am posting. I was going post a few more pics of deer(smaller than the one I posted) and antelope... Not going to happen.

It is an embarrassment. ;-)

Hey, there is no shame in any animal! No matter what someone out there has shot bigger except for 1 person in the whole world who shot the largest so don't be shy brother. We have appreciation for all trophies. Just for you and JG here is a rare glimpse of CFII using a Leupy on my Fallow Hunt. Wink See I told you I don't have anything against them! Bucky

Did I detect a little sarcasm there?Wink

Have to admit been humbled a bit really thought it was at least a 160 class and maybe 185 class. Guess I should of have the Tax. score it before having it mounted... or better yet passed altogether on taking him to begin with. My bad

Did not know Leupold is a four letter word when I signed up for this forum... should put that in the "forum rules". Wink
Something like ---- L****** we do not speak of here... for fear of angering the the optics gods.

Rifles Inc 6.5/284 and I seriously used it no recreation pic there. I used it in south Texas for the whole weekend in pouring down rain. Here is a picture of my Fallow from that particular hunt.

I think that rifle looked better with the matching Z3 on there.

Trust me that scope isn't going anywhere. We share to many experiences together. You can see it on my gun from the Wyoming hunt last fall. I just took it off for this one hunt!
