It was only last night that I shot him. But no, didn't keep the head skin. He's 40Lx35W. I would want a better one if I was going to the expense of mounting one. He's close though.

A better one? mate you must get some bloody big deer to say something 40" long isnt worth mounting haha thats our magic number here for length.
Lot of air in between those antlers too 35" wide is awesome. Have you got any mounts? if so wanna chuck up some pics?
How far was the shot on that fella? what did you use?
Have far too carry him?. Thats a beast:cool:
His bey on one side is a bit short. 6.5x55 Schultz & Larsen, SST @ 2800fps. Back of the base of his neck, at 190 yards. He was on the move and slightly up hill.
Dundee, in the Waewaepas. 2.5 hrs walk out, 1.5 hrs walk in. Home here at 2.30am. Took the head, back steaks, rumps and what else off his arse I could carry.

Yeh I saw that the bez was a bit short, I spose its all in the eye of the beholder. I'm impressed by the genetics I'm seeing there, look forward to seeing you with a real big boy one day.
Oh yeh I love the 6.5 and the sst's are a great little projectile, I use them through my 270 and they put on the hurt something fierce.
Its not that long ago that Neckshot and I were up there. Well done:thumbsup:
Same place, last May. A very similar head; last nights one is bigger but not as heavy.

Anyone can get them and you will get one too if you stick to it.
What are the Schultz and Larsen like? I had one ordered and was meant to come in last Dec but found out end of Dec that it was gunna be closer to mid year so bought a Sako Bavarian instead. Still wouldnt mind one one day, they come up so nicely but feel like they'd be a big kicker - like a steyr!
