Just so you guys will know I didn't always spend all of my sparetime calling coyotes or making calls. I took this one with a bow on Oct. 30th, 1985.

If you call the coyotes in close, you won't NEED a high dollar range finder.

You shot him with a bow before or after he was hung on that block wall?
What I really want to hear is the joke you told him.
I can never get them to smile that big.
OK. I'll say it. That's a very nice deer.

Understanding the coyote is not as important as knowing where they are.
I usually let the fur prime up before I leave 'em lay.

Rich, that is an impressive deer, and I think if you posted his measurements it might be even more impressive. I don't think the angle of that photo does him justice.
When I say measurements I merely mean spread. tine length, diameter at bases, etc... - I'm not, nor will I ever be, up on that 100's of inches stuff.
How old? He either had a lot of years or had the roan/pie-bald thing going on.
True trophy.

Nice buck, but I thnk that your den could stand a coat of paint.
Did you have the antlers scored??

Pope&Young score was 171&3/8". It has been a long time, but I believe some of those points are over 11" long. The mount is covered with dust because I don't get up there and dust him off. The buck was probably about five years old. I noticed the grey muzzle right off.
