I'd like to see the gross vs net on that one. Granted won't be much over 125 but it looks to be damn close to a perfect rack

Forget the score - Main beams touching like that make it a trophy in my book. The hunter should mount it and be proud regardless of inches!
👍 The uniqueness makes every one of them a trophy. Actually a couple of my most memorable hunts were both does. One was archery back when the bows were slower and arrows had a lot of arc. A doe at 35 yards and I could only see her through a one foot gap in the leaves at 20 yards. I had to aim for 35 yards at an imaginary deer a foot below the opening in the leaves. That and the mostly melanistic squirrel with a white belly eating a mushroom perched on a branch ten feet from me just moments before the doe adds to the memory.
The other doe was a gun tag. She was a trophy to me because it was my longest shot at 1221 yards.
Like everyone else I do look for the best buck I can find every year, but in the end something makes them all good. I mounted one buck not because he was huge, but because he was an archery buck I shot at eight yards while I was standing on the ground with good camo and had a buck between him and I when I shot him.

Its the ones where you go head to head, track them down and clean kill. Had a spike once where it took me 3 days to remove him from the gene pool and I was happy to do it. At a year and 1/2 he had more tricks than most old bucks. His spikes were like 12 inches long and I wanted them for knife handles. LB

While interesting, that buck falls miserably short of my discerning standards.

<120 is JV I tell you... JV!!
