OT - 24 Point Buck???

Post by don Tomás »

Friend sent me this. I checked Snopes, but found no reference to this. Thought the first photo might have been PhotoShopped, but the additional photos make me think otherwise... :shock:

===============================================

24 Point Buck

Shot in Livingston, KY during gun season Roger saw it chasing a doe and thought it looked pretty big

Shot at 150 yds - Field dressed at 215 lbs

He's been told the head might sell for $100 to 200K

North American Whitetail shot the story and it will air next fall

Buck Master measured the antlers and said it is a new state record

Boone & Crockett will wait until the antlers dry and then measure but scored a preliminary 287

The state record was broken about two years ago and had a score of 260

Holy that deers a freak I like him :shock: I've always wanted to shoot a NT.
With a .45cal entrance wound I don't worry too much about bullet expansion.

Yikes, That looks like some of the cactus I used to avoid out in the desert.

A freak of nature for sure.

Nah, that was close to your neck of the woods in Ky, Kid. Record breaker maybe, but isn't that the ugliest deer you've ever seen??? :D
