Luck was on my side in 2002. I drew a 3rd season tag in Colorado and was able to find this giant on the third day. Since I own the site, my buck isn't really entered in the Big Buck Contest. Like everyone else, I just wanted to show him off! He's definitely an awesome looking buck and I'm thrilled to have been the lucky hunter.
The incredible buck is 34-1/2 inches wide, has 10 points on the right side, 11 on the left, and gross scores about 226. It'll take an official scorer to determine whether the broken droptine counts. But who cares, like my dad says, "He scores BIG!"
