We knew we were on big buck ridge when I found this-
A couple more dead buck pictures-
I didn't get real precise on the score, but my rough measurements came up with right around 190 gross. 25.5 inch beams, 12.5-13 inch g4s.
This buck definitely passes what my expectations were for finding on the mountain. Everything I saw before this buck had let me to thinking a 160-170" deer was a keeper up there. I'm very glad I stuck with my gameplan of hunting high and holding out until the bitter end, but I was definitely getting nervous that that was the right gameplan.
I'm glad everyone had fun following along, I had a blast making the updates.

LOBSTAH!!
I'd take that lobster claw over a droptine or "trash" all day, every day. So cool, such rad character.

190 is a solid buck anyplace, let alone that deer stinkhole Montana!
So it looks like I'm late to the party with my official Hunttalk congrats, but I was busy reclaiming my elk from Ursus Arctos Horribilis. I'd have offered a double order of Double Front Chicken to have you holding another can of pepper spray.
Huge kudos on a well earned buck. You earned every inch of him. Thanks also for ensuring my odds of ever drawing this tag are now exponentially worse.
If and when I have this tag in hand, I will be plastering reward posters all over the valley offering a fried chicken finders fee.
I've been waiting on a picture with two dead bulls in it. Sounds like there's a story also huh? I might be glad you didn't take me up on my packing help offer

He'll look good on the wall no doubt. Your taxidermy bill must be getting expensive.
Congratulations, Randy. Very happy for you and the great hunt you shared with all of us.

They are just elk. Nothing like a big muley.
The camera with all the pics on it is on another adventure in eastern MT as we speak. I'll have to wait till Travis gets back before I post any pics. We had actually talked about trying to come hunt with you for a day after we got the elk out, but then you had to go and end it early. At least you got an okay buck out of it.edit- I just checked my email. Looks like some pictures off said camera are in my inbox. Thread coming shortly.
