Leaks starting to come out about buck likely over Hanson buck score

[phade]

Rumors seems to float around every single year that a deer has been shot that tops the Hanson buck. Well, it's happening again. Rumors are starting to circulate of a muzzleloader buck taken in MI near the IN and Ohio border was taken this season and it is scoring significantly higher than the Hanson buck. Hunter has kept it under wraps well, but is now shopping the whole deal...story, pics, and rack.

Normally I wouldn't post such nonsense, but the news has started to spread through reputable people based off of first-hand experience of seeing the buck.

Hope to hear more about it, if it is indeed true.

Found it.

Here’s a pic the new world record whitetail. It was taken by the cousin of a co -worker’s sister’s, uncle’s, best friend’s, son-in-law’s cousin.

Reportedly it will score 603 1/8 by B&C standard and was shot in MI.

Supposedly, this deer had killed a bull, two landrovers ,six hunters, 4 grizzlys, 2 caribo, a jackalope and 2 schoolchildren in the last two weeks alone. They said he was in a fierce fight with Bigfoot, a chupacabra and a lockness monster when Gov Comuo and Obama shot him. There is now pending legislation in congress banning genetic manipulation, salt blocks and food plots bigger than 7 acres.

Sounds like Mitch Rompola is at it again. Remember him?

erussell, had to clean the coffee off the computer screen, LOL.

[phade]

I am sure if there is any validity to the story, it'll be picked up by the publications at some point.

Supposedly the area the buck was taken in was in a QDM co-op. To me, that seems fishy as that means too many people likley knew about the buck for it to be a secret. I guess we'll see.

Geeze....He'd have been a DANDY next year....

[nyantler]

No way a buck that big could fly under the radar this long... usually the 'reputable" sources turn out to be not so reputable... and any measurement not scored officially could be way off the mark.

[G-Man]

I think a big buck could be kept off the radar very easily, butcher it yourself, just horn mount, so head never goes to taxidermist.. heck lucky buck was a world record for years and never measured.. some old timers and conservative people don't care about the rack, and don't run around saying look at me see what i got!

[nyantler]

That's assuming that the guy killed it alone and didn't tell a single sole... the Luckey buck was killed way before scoring bucks was popular and before mass media... it also was lost due to a taxidermist that took the rack from Roosevelt Luckey and was missing for years before it was unearthed nearly by accident and found by Bob Estes the founder of the Big Buck Club in the late 1960's after hearing a tale about the buck. Having said all that... the Luckey buck didn't fly under the radar at all it was well known in Allegany County in 1939 by almost everyone locally... all of whom were not aware that there was such thing as a Boone & Crockett Club. Today the chance of hiding a buck that big would be nearly impossible.. especially in a huge hunting state like Michigan. In my 25 years of working in the hunting community I have never met a hunter that wouldn't get excited over killing a 200+ class whitetail.. old timer or not... 150 class maybe... not 200 class

I thought there was another story about a Saskatchewan buck taken this year ,the guy was going to make money off the whole ordeal because he recorded the whole process from the preseason scout all the way to the kill shot.

Big buck must have been a fun hunt...

How did you get him home, a space ship ?? Or did you use the good ol throw em over your shoulder trick ?? Hahaha lol.

That's not it. That is the King buck from 2010 or 2011. That buck is having scoring issues or it would be the new record.

[josephmrtn]

yeah someone at B&C claims its a non typical... i dont agree

[G-Man]

I still think rompola's buck is actual new world record, think he just got turned off to all the bs that went along with its controversy. And the jordan buck is still a better looking buck than hansons.. guy is lucky he didnt knock horn off with his bullet...

[nyantler]

yeah someone at B&C claims its a non typical... i dont agree

This is where most hunters have it wrong.. the buck was never scored or claimed as a non-typical.. there was just one point in question... after long deliberations the B&C club decided to panel score the buck officially and found the point to be abnormal and not coming off the beam, but rather off the adjoining point... hence the point becomes a deduction based on the B&C typical scoring system. It was not considered a non-typical rack. The rack scored 180 as a typical taking it out of contention for the world record.

As such, stories morph. Turns out it's the Indiana buck that is being hyped up. Non typical...309. Obviously lots of internet chatter, but its been scored by a B&C scorer and a sheet has been submitted.

It'll be interesting to see how it plays out. If the score stands through the process and panel, it may be the biggest buck ever taken by a hunter. Hard to say, as pics seem to not do it justice, but if a sheet has been submitted...then it's got to be at least ball park accurate.

[phade]

Pic attached.

B & C confirmed the brows are 13" long, so that should give you some idea on the frame, mass, etc.

that is some rack!

[sampotter]

B+C verified that the submitted score is legit. Most guys don't understand how big those truly big ones are until ou see them in person. BPS had their trailer full of famous bucks on display not too long ago with the Breen buck among others. It is so hard to imagine a deer growing that much antler. Those deer are in a whole other league...

[Geno C]

what county was it from?

[phade]

Huntington I believe.
