This is a whitetail that weighed 357 pounds. He was a basic eight with two other points that according to B&C  are deductions. He finished out at 172 3/4 with 14 inch g 2s and 23 1/2 and 25 beams.The two points that make him a ten pointer were 8 3/4 inches of deductions. the bases were 5 1/2 inches in diameter. I shot him on the 12 th day of the hunt ,the first day i ripped my bicep in half climbing tree, took a week for me to be able to wrap arm, and pull bow back with it(mathews q2)turned all the way down. Was my first trip out of state hunting.. I have since had surgery and have 90 % of my shoulder and arm back. The arrow barely went in ,but he ran hard out of the wood block ,and when exiting ,hit a tree that shoved the arrow deep in him along with breaking it off. He ran 300 yards and died due to lung puncture. I weighed 189 pounds in the pick, he dwarfed me. :twisted:
