I arrived last night and drove around the ranch, it is unreal the amount of quality animals we saw last night. Were in the stand early this morning and couldn't get what we were after to come within bow range. About to head back out and see if we can seal the deal. When I get back in I will post pics if I can.

Just over 28 tall and 26 1/2 wide. I have seen several more that were bigger, but this one presented the best shot opportunity. It would be an understatement to say they have a ton of axis and very good bucks.

He scored 131.5", 28 1/2" Main beams and was 26 1/2 inches wide. I don't know what class that makes him, but he is an awesome animal to me regardless. I am getting a full body mount on him and can't wait.

I didn't think you were knocking him, I was just saying I don't know what class that score falls under.

Sawyer, I appreciate the very kind feedback. We have worked very hard to get the property to a level where I would be comfortable to offer hunts. I've sold several hunts previously to friends to just get something going, but you are the first full on guided hunt and I am thrilled that it went so well for you. Come back and hunt again for a big fallow when they get hard antlered and you will get an amazing animal. I'm hoping to have the new lodge completed in September which should only improve the experience.
Thanks again, Glynn

Wow! This is impressive! Makes a guy want to get out of the ole recliner!
