Scored at 160 6/8 by Ridgetop Taxidermy

Shot between Arcadia and Fountain City Wisconsin. The deer was about 15 yards away when drilled by my 100 grain Muzzy broad head attached to a carbon express arrow which was flung by my Mathews Mission. The unique part of this deers rack is the second main beam that grew off the right side of his antlers.
