My 25 year old son attended the AR state Big Buck Extravaganza. His official 173 5/8" deer came in 2nd behind a 212+" deer. 212+" here in AR!!!! MLer at that! The 212+ took overall also. Though I think my son has a mistake in his score, he said his scored 169" net. He used RB's OBO stocked 450 bore, 45 PacNor but wasn't shooting sabotless this time. His load was 12/54 VV-110/2015, Harvester saboted 200SST,60-65 yds, 2750'/sec. Mid chest shot - pass-thru. I have already posted this. I'll try to post a picture of his mounted deer and the huge winner. Incidentally, the bullet had a small entrance hole and about an inch in diameter exit hole. No one would complain about it's performance.

Congratulations, also, Steve; 173+ is no "2nd place" deer in my book.

Steve you must be a very proud Dad, for many reasons including this very fine buck.
It's extra special that it was an RB rifle.

A 170s deer is quite a deer in any book.

SW,
Seems like I remember your posting pix of your Son's buck a while back, but I couldn't find it. I would be tickled silly with anything close to 173 score!

SW,
Oh my gosh,,,,, I just realized in all my posting frenzy that I had forgot to congratulate you and your son for such accomplishment. 170 class is grown anywhere on the planet much less Arkansas, lifetime memories of the best kind come with such a buck.
I hope he remembered to thank dad for all his work helping unlock the key to the smokeless ML gun all these years.
Was looking at the BBC listing on Arkansashunting.com and was pleased to see the number of good bucks taken in AR this year.
Congrats to you both.
Mark
