Coues79 Report post Posted December 5, 2005 That's an excellent story. It truly makes you feel like you were there when it all happened. I wish I would have had that chance at that caliber of buck. I just wish he would have been only in the 120's so it might seem realistic to top him. It will probably take a lot of time and a lot of water in the hills to match him. Excellent, Excellent, Excellent story. CochranJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

COOSEFAN Report post Posted December 7, 2005 I haven't been on for a while and just read through how this thing exploded! I did make a comment on what I thought the buck scored based on a pic' of a head on a bench. I just read the story and saw the great in-field pic's and definitely change my mind. Mace, that is truly a monster, and great story of perseverance, and dedication to back it up! To have the huge body and you in the pic with it for comparison really puts it into perspective! I never said anything disrespectful, and never would, just made a guess on score based on a bad pic. I don't remember anybody sayin' anything bad about it at that time, actually complete opposite! I did see the B.S. that is on here now and they're just jealous. Ignore the bad feedback and enjoy that incredible buck! It definitely sounds like you deserve it! What a monster! Congrats!!!!

JIM <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks for the compliments coosefan. I was hoping the pics and story would help clarify some of the questions about his size. For me he is the buck of a lifetime. Dont get me wrong though..... I'm gonna keep looking for another one! Maybe a 4-point next time, or a nontypical, or a,well you get the picture. Anyways thanks again and best of luck on your hunts.
