    WV - CO Connection

    I am not sure if the Burris buck will ever be beaten. Today we follow these bucks year in and year out and if you have ever seen that buck in person it is just crazy how deep and big the forks are. When it gets to that level it almost comes down to kickers and deductions as there have been a...
