I normally use mechanicals. Since they are not static, the design is critical and not equal across all expand...

Re: camo dip done.. and scored??

Ok...I scored it with better tools and got more realistic results... this is a green score as the 60 day drying period hasn't passed yet...gross was 126 5/8" and netted was 120 2/8".... knew it wasn't a 155 class deer...a trophy to me none the less

yeah, that is what i figured it would score.. i used the Pope and Young score sheet but i must have done some wrong math or something...
