Killed in 2005. 28" wide and grosses 170. My focus is on elk this year so I may have to wait a while to beat him.

I've got a few White Tails that score 150-160. Haven't got the big Muley yet.
Couple old pics. These bucks are 26-27 inches.

I can't tell you about the biggest, but the shot I'm proudest of is one of nearly 600yrds. using my .270win with my hand loads (130gr Sierra BTSP, over 59grs. of H4831). I layed down over a big boulder, mostly level ground. I'm pretty good at judging distance and counted off the 100yds at a time to gain a good guess at the distance. Maybe just luck, but I fugured the width of the deers body and held 1 1/2 body widths above his back. I squeezed the trigger. When I looked through the Leupold I couldn't find the deer, as it was, I was barely put antlers on the deer in the first place. After pacing it off to the spot, the deer was laying in a large pool of blood. The bullet only had enough energy to hit the shoulder blade and stop, it put a large hole in the shoulder. The animal hadn't died but layed down. I had to put another round in him. Lucky yes, too far, probably. But I knew my rifle and I enjoyed the meat.

Here's mine, 5x6 24'' muley...sorry about the pic quality..I dont have a scanner so I took a picture of the polaroid

Not the biggest, grossed 148, netted 141 I think, but had a huge body...27'' neck. This was killed three years ago when I was 15. This was probably one of my favorite years as it was the first year I really got to hunt on my own. I somehow managed to get my first muzzleloader kill, a cow elk, and this muley by myself. I hope to have him mounted this year.
