That stinks....cool to have the antlers, but they will never mean as much as if he had actually killed it himself.

alwyshntn.. The eyeguard on the long side is 11 inches long, its too bad the other one didnt match.. He is having a taxidermist preserve the velvet on them to keep them looking fresh. I think they will probably hang in his dads barber shop.

Definitely a bummer but at least he has the opportunity to preserve the rack. Should be a nice conversation piece.

Definitely a bummer, but at least he got the rack.

Back in 98 or 99 I missed a chip shot at a moster 8 pointer as he was trailing some does. About a week and a half later he got smacked by a car and my dad ended up with the rack - which grossed right around 150". Just an absolute giant. Now every time I go to his house I get to look at that rack and think about how it should be hanging on my wall.

To bad the big boy didn't get a chance to outwit the hunter another year! Looks like a great buck. Can't belive the individual hitting such an animal wouldn't have stopped.
