    Persistence paid off. Good thing you had the dog. Any idea of his Douglas score?

    It's getting cleaned and bleached at the moment; as soon as that's done its off to be scored.

    It's 39" wide and 36" and 38" long.

    Awesome story / video, love when. You leave a good head for another year and you were rewarded, he got even better than you were expecting

    It pays to let them grow alright, it's got to score well maybe 285 / 290 DS will be interested to see the score when you get it done. Lucky you had Eva with you.

    What a bugger, all that patience to get a 12 and accidentally shoot it as a 14. You'll have to start all over now.
