If that is only his 2nd set of antlers...then that is impressive even for Worth County. Thank God For Your Blessings! Never Half-Arse Anything! Resource Protection Service

One buddy said he’d pay to have the tooth analyzed so they could be right or be able to rag me for the rest of my life for shooting a young buck with great potential, lol!!
