Thought I would share.... I was hunting w/in 10 miles of where they were found opening weekend. What a find!!
The article says (1) was a big 8 pt that would score in the mid 140's and the other was a 20+ pt that would score in the 180's

I hope they had LOTS of help dragging those behemoths out of the woods.
Unbelievable body size and pretty nice racks, too!

Wow! looks like they were playing in the water for a while. I'm sure there's a little spiker somewhere that benefited from all of this!
