Interesting...
When I entered this one in 2005, it tied for #17 in the Typical Category scoring 123 4/8. But the 121" one he showed in 2006 was supposedly #8. Huh???

The reason I posted all of these pic's was I wanted to share with the hunting community and help everyone get pumped up for the opener this Saturday.
I will attempt to answer some of your questions:
First thanks for all the props I really do get a kick out of every ones comments and as you can see I'm new here.
* you might find it hard to believe but, Yes that is the state record for all bows, the spread of a buck is only one measurement out of 19 and so far it's stood for 7yr's
[be my guest in breaking it I know I'm trying to]
* I switched over to traditional bow in 1984 and never looked back, I love the simplicity of long bows and recurves.
* These are all mine unless I gave a name, these are my hunting buddy's, The state record was shot in July 1999 in so.cal.so you know what zone. He blew my mind when I shot him because he has two main beam's he's a 5x4x3 truly a once in a lifetime buck for this area
* The typical record has stood for 12 years and I heard that there is a new pending State record some where around the 150+ range and this is for all bows.
* For the boundary's of the Pacific Hybrid check with CBH but ruffly from SF south down the 5 to the 134 to the 15 to the 10 to the 86 to Mexico and everything to the west of this line
* I am just like you and from so. cal. all my life, I hunt on all public land and every one of these bucks came from public land.
* Bowhunting is not a sport for me, it's a way of life, I hunt on average 60+ days a year and I'm always scouting, If your looking for a secret to getting big bucks all the time I don't know one, what I do know is you cant shoot a big one if you keep shooting a little one and the only place I've seen deer is in the hills so that's where I'm at
