"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you." Had to Seek this guy out and finally found him!!
6 DAYS of persistence hiking and covering over 25 kms of ridges, hills, and cutblocks from dawn to Dusk. Hardest hunt to date, yet I never gave up. I knew the big bucks were starting to move, it was only a matter of when and where. Caught him off guard with about 8 does. 1 shot with my 7x64 using 175Gr Hornady interlocks @ 2720fps at 100 yards did the job! The recovery was tough with him being 225+ lbs. I was on my own at the time with my hunting partner walking a different ridge. I had to gut him there and pull him quite aways out of the bush to an area where I get the truck in. The buck measured in at 27.5 inches wide. Biggest buck to date! With all that said and done I'm very thankful and blessed!

Well I've finally had time to work on making me a Euro mount out of the buck I got with my 7x64. I think it turned out alright. 27.5 inches wide.
