I second the notion on crazy non-typical racks.  Wonderful character.  Not sure on the age of that buck but his neck says he is well over 3 1/2.   It would be interesting to use one of those teeth staining guides and see what he was.

Once again great buck and great pictures.

I don't know how much he weighed, but it was a lot more than I am used to.  Thankfully, I thought ahead to bring the cart.  I bought the cart at the bargain cave at Cabelas.  I think the best features of it are the wheels.  Solid double wheels.

I am going to get him aged, I am not sure how old he is, but I know he is not a 1.5 year old Michigan buck and I am very thankful for this opportunity.
