WOW!!!!!
Mark, I gotta say that is one of the prettiest big typicals I've ever seen!  I love the way the tines curve in and then on the front view pic the entire rack almost makes a perfect circle shape.  Then there's the long brow tines... yup, for a clean typical he's got it all.  Size, hight, width, shape, color.....  The only thing missing is me in the picture  :rolleyes:  

Oh well, someday.  Here in MO I have a slim chance of shooting a buck like that where I hunt but I've never really come close yet.  Seen a couple good ones over the years but never where I could close the deal.
Dave


I've come to believe that the keys to shooting well for me are good form, trusting the bow to do all the work, and having the confidence in the bow and myself to remain motionless and relaxed at release until the arrow hits the mark.

He got that bow used at Comptons two years ago because it was too heavy for the previous owner. Mark had quite a few of the guys sign it on the belly. The buck had back tines of almost 16 inches. We are happy for him because it all came together with this buck.  Mike

Gosh dang Mark, those are a couple of beauties!  You should do a whitetail bootcamp like Barry does.  Except you should complete it with GPS coordinates to your favorite stands!  I'll be there!
