Even if he'd been guaranteed to put on another 20"+ again this year, I still don't think I'd have been dumb enough to pass him and see. Luckily, I didn't know what buck it was exactly so I never had a chance to even consider doing something like that.He needed another year.
Dang man, congrats! Have you had a chance to get a rough score?
Thanks! We came up 176" gross typical and 156" net, which is higher grossing but slightly lower net than my previous best. However, he'll likely be scored as a nontypical and we came up with 189 gross and 182 net nontypical. He has a couple judgement calls in the scoring that I think we made correctly but won't know for sure until the rack is scored by a certified scorer.
