Whats your best?

[N.E.T.O.]

My best is a medium sized 4x4 that I shot with my wife sitting next to me in a lawn chair. We refer to that buck as "the lawn chair buck". I don't have any digital pics of it, but the rack is mounted and in my living room! (Only allowed since my wife was with me and its a good conversation piece!) She was with me that year for some reason and decided to go out on the opening morning hunt. I figured I may well just sit in a lawn chair on the side of a dirt road, so thats what we did. Lo and behold, as soon as it was light enough to see, there was a herd of deer with about 5 bucks in it about 100 yards away just in the sagebrush at the edge of the trees. I looked for the biggest one and shot it. We were rolling back into camp as some of the more lazy hunters in our party were just leaving to go out hunting! I've shot a lot of other deer but so far I have not shot one that I have even bothered to measure. I have yet to shoot a bull elk, except for an antlerless yearling that was a bull with no antlers yet. I also haven't yet shot a buck antelope. One of these years I'll draw out!
I know of 2 deer that have been taken that are true trophies from the mountain that we hunt. One was about 10 years ago, 5x5 with a 29 inch spread (cousin) and last year, (my brother) a 4x4 with a 27 inch spread.
