That thing is a frickin toad! To bad about losing it. I lost 9 years of bullriding pictures in a house fire, I feel some of your pain.

That's brutal man. Was anything left of the antlers or just reduced to ashes? If the antlers are still in tact I have a nice cape here I would be happy to give you!

Yeah, The 4x4 we got the night before.The next morning i shot the big guy 300yds from where we laid the 4x4 down. I knew there was a bigger buck there buy the amount of scrabes and rubs around. Totally an epic hunt that can never be duplicated.

What a great buck, sorry for your loss. I know there are places out there that can build replica antlers if you have pictures and measurements. Perhaps that's something you can look into?
