So I had to insert a story into this thread.

Coles notes version is that my Dad shot a pretty sizeable whitetail in November of 1991. More than sizeable actually - for a couple years it was seen as the potential new Boone & Crockett Typical Whitetail world record. For a variety of reasons it ended up being knocked down in final scoring by B & C, but not without a fair amount of controversy along the way. It IS, however, the world record by Buckmaster Magazine's scoring system, and a fairly famous animal in hunting circles to this day.

He's the farthest thing from a trophy hunter mind you - I can probably count the number of tags he's filled in 40+ years of hunting on two hands. And yes, we did eat the deer.
