Very nice buck!! Lots of character, are you going to do a mount?
Not to hijack your thread but I have these pics of a couple different bucks that my wife has shot in MT and this seemed like a good place to share them as they are very similar to yours.
This one was her first big game animal, we had been seeing him around for a couple months and she got a shot first thing opening day.
This is her buck from last season.
Both bucks are form the same unit and I saw 1 a couple years ago that had to be the dad or granddad of those bucks, HUGE. The rancher whose land he was on tried to stalk and kill him and spooked him off his property and watched 2 old guys hammer him.
