More Pictures!!!

[Grail]

This first picture was taken the year before the buck was killed.  We estimated him to be around 88 inches with horns pushing 18.4 -19.0.  Believe it or not I'm only 30 yards away in this photo.  My 500 mm lens broke in half somehow and I had to resort to my standard 35 mm lens.  

This next picture is with the same crappy 35 mm and about the same distance away and of the same buck.  This year this buck was taken.  His horns measured 21.0 and 20.7.  His SCI score was 94.1 which would place him numero uno for archery.

This next picture was taken from a blind.  This buck was taken and supposedly scored around 88.  

This buck I think was killed by Garth Carter and I think was about 18 inches long.  I could be wrong, though.

That's a wild looking pronghorn Grail. It's odd to see horns that high up.

How did your lens break? Worst possbile time too.

Thanks for posting the pics.

I have no idea how it broke.  I just went to take a picture with it after having walked after this buck for a long time and half of it was gone.  It wasn't the most expensive lens, but it was very long and obviously not made for hiking around.  I've since gotten another lens, a cat eye, to keep the length to a minimum.
