H47, I *think* I see tines on the back. If the animal were turned a little, they'd jump out at ya.

So what are you getting at is there is another sticker on the left beam that I can't see ,I know that the right antler has 4 on the upper part with gards ???.

Absolute jaw dropper for me dino. Congrats. Can't wait for vid. Can we have more info on the lead up to the shot?

Yeh, I'm looking at the inside line of the left beam and see a little abrupt change of direction, mid way through the length. I *think* it's the splitting point.

No matter,,,, That thing is a beutiful piece of work.

Sorry about the slow response on the video but im having trouble with my editing, I will have something soon. The lead up to the shot is we spotted only a few deer early on,"had a small 4 point 50 yards in front of me" but not worth shooting. we decided to move due to the low number of deer being spotted which is odd for the area.WE hiked to a rocky outcrop to spot the next basin and saw this 4x3 bedded down about 800 meters away so we decided to get as close as we could without being spotted ourselves, it was a ridge with very little cover so we had to move fast and low. When we got into position we realised it was going to be a long shot ,to long for me. we were trying to figure out a way to get closer when the deer spotted us and stood up to flee danger and before I could pull out the camera Glen took a shot with his 300 win mag. He missed his first but saw his miss. He would not make this same mistake twice, second shot down he went. I videoed the gps to range the distance it was 360 m to the deer and 400 to the shot.The only problem is the gps shows the quardenants of the location, which will need some editing, I do have video leading up to the shot and after coming soon. Hopefully.
