About LinkBacksHad a very quick measure today and it is 235ds, it was a very quick and rough measure. Unfortunately it was hit with over spread which i suspected when first seeing it and it lost 12 points.Originally Posted by Malhunting
Went out yesterday to a spot we have been hunting hard for a year and just getting to grips with the place and the layout of the land.
A fortnight ago i seen a decent buck but took to long to pull the trigger, as i checked the head again it bolted, well im glad i didnt shoot it as now i realise that he still had another 3 years growth to hit full potential for the area.
Yesterday my hunting mate was the lucky one, he pulled the trigger on a once in a lifetime Buck. I will measure it tomorrow hopefully but in the meantime here is a pick of it.
Still a cracker head.

Yeah the head skin is bald behind the ears and patches of his nose and neck, kind of hoping those scars are from a bigger buck haha.
Not sure if he plans to mount it, probably chuck it out the back of the dog kennels with the rest.

Well done Beanie. Good animals both. Those tusks will make a great set of earrings for the missus. Ha ha ha ha
It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.

They were only showing up to the brown marks in the jaw and I thought they were small. Boiled them and kept on pulling low and behold the biggest I have seen.
Wife not having a bar of earrings HAHa not even happy about them on top of the fridge to show them off at the mo HAHHA
