Whitetail Trophies of Missouri: July 2009

Note From Mike Handley

Spread the word, gang. If you or someone you know has taken a whitetail that'll score 160 or better as a Typical OR 175+ as a Non-typical/Irregular (without factoring in the inside spread), there's a great chance I'd like to feature the deer in RACK magazine. The hunter can write the story, or I'd be happy to do it. The antlers MUST be scored for the BTR, and we'll need a couple of pics. mhandley@buckmasters.com
