Default Success!!!

Well I thought I had better get out before the snow came and look for the match to the droptine shed. Got lucky and found it 3/4 of a mile from where I found the first one. What a feeling when I spotted it! Scores right around 86 inches. Add both sides together and add aproximately a 17 inch spread and you get a 200 inch gross whitetail. Biggest set I have ever found.
Sorry their not the greatest pics but all I had was my Iphone. Will post a better pic of the set when I get my camera back tommorrow.
