Mike had a last-minute opportunity to take a hunting trip to Alberta, Canada this week - and this is what he came home with!! He said it is his "crown jewel" of his hunting years. It has fifteen points (could be sixteen if you count a little knob on one tine) and measured 186 on the Boone and Crockett scale. He thought he missed it on Monday as he looked and looked but couldn't find it; however, on Wednesday when the magpies were chattering constantly in an area near where he was, he went to investigate and there was his deer. Needless to say, there wasn't much meat left - but that rack was still intact. I picked him up last night in Atlanta and he was a happy man. :-)

Yaayyy Mike - way to go.
Our grandson, Will, is begging for a shotgun for Christmas and his dream would be to get a deer...well, he'd be thrilled with a rabbit or a squirrel, at this point. I'm going to make sure he sees this...and ask him if he knows what the Boone and Crockett scale is. Ummm, I don't, but I'll Google it so he'll be impressed!
I've read recently that these big racks are worth alot of money, depending on the number of "points".
There's a man near Peoria with a rack that he claims he's turned down $100,000 for.
Could that be possible?
Mike says yes, they can be sold, but he doesn't think he could get that much for it!!
