Thanks fellas. I certainly hope to close the deal on this deer. I'm tired of starting stories and not finishing them!
In regards to the amount of pictures, I do give a lot of the credit to the BEC. That camera has taken 20,000+ pictures this summer on the same battery. It is a true work horse and the deer never pay it any attention. I believe other cameras would have given me pictures of him, but not there nearly 8,000 I have. Regardless of the fact I no longer represent BEC, I will always contend no one makes a better inventory camera. This summer has been a perfect example of that...
As for the gross score, I've been over this a thousand times and always come up with 162-164". So it is very comforting to see Chad come up with the same score. However, score means nothing to me in the case. It is all about the quest and finishing what I started. If he scores 155 or 165, it doesn't matter...
