Ray Swope, poses with his monster buck he took he shot Nov. 28 in New Haven.

He wrote:

"A close friend and I were hunting together in the town of New Haven, Oswego County and decided to sit at opposite ends of a relatively new piece of property. I was lucky enough to see and shoot this trophy of a lifetime. The buck is a main frame 6 x 6 with a drop tine on his left side making it 13 all together. The deer dressed out at 165 on certified scales and un-officially green scores a gross total of 190 6/8” and nets after deductions 181 3/8”. The official score cannot be determined until 60 days after the kill. It’s possible that after the official scoring that this could be one of the largest bucks taken in Oswego County in many years."

Alot of people do that, but I don't know if I'd do that to a B&C caliber buck.

Great buck to say the least.

At least when he gets it back he will know he's got his hide on the mount. Just check for the hole lol.

What an awesome buck! Looking at the trail cam pic, it looks like a monster 3 1/2 year old. Congrats on a super buck!

[GreeneHunter]

Great looking Buck !

[arrow nocker]

does this look like the same buck?

[arrow nocker]

[MACHINIST]

the last 2 pics are totally different deer

[arrow nocker]

If you look at the other pictures and zoom in you can see way too many similarities.It looks like a drop tine on the one i posted too.Its just the head is in two different positions so its hard to be certain.

[chiefbkt]

Different bucks. They have different brows, the 2nd one is missing a drop tine, and the 2nd one looks much older.

[WNYBuckHunter]

Not the same deer.

[arrow nocker]

good supposedly he is still alive.you would know if he had been shot thats for sure.Couldn't keep that a secret.LOL.

[WNYBuckHunter]

Youd be surprised how many big bucks are killed each year and go completely unpublicized.
