Thanks Guy, it really was a pretty good buck, I later put the tape on him & he measured 15 1/2 inside. I also killed another 8 pet. This last fri. Not guide as good, little over 12" inside. Shot this last with 357 mag. Henry SS. Not happy with that gun. Did not make the best shot & needed a finisher. Probably should have tried the 45/70. Funny thing, the 15 1/2 was just a 2 1/2, the 12 was 3 1/2.
