This is one of my better bucks. But certainly not B & C trophy. Note the typical 4X4 antlers with long tines, but they're smaller diameter. A common feature of bucks from the Dakotas taken in non-farm country.
Height is good but width is narrow for most genuine
trophy hunters. Eye guards are small and short, another common feature with bucks from this particular region.
In summary, a truely great buck should have it all:
1) large diameter antlers
2) width well past ears
3) long tines
It takes long lifetime, exceptional genetics, and access to good feed to produce a great buck. Best place to look for such a trophy in my opinion is Utah.
30-30 is a keeper!
