Absolute GIANT NY buck?

[nyantler]

I wish guys would stop equating AR with just the topic of monster bucks all the time... AR is strictly designed to help balance out the age structure, the fact that it allows for bigger bucks is the natural bi-product. maybe the reason we have so many big bucks being taken is because many hunters are deciding on their own to use some restraint when it comes to killing small bucks. OMG I can't believe I got pulled in to an AR discussion again! I try to get out, but they keep pulling me back in!! ???

I believe that is has to do more with very limited access to property for most hunters; the deer have more safety zones/posted property to hide out in than ever before (around my area anyways).  Either way, we need to let more of 'em grow up...

[MuzzyLoader]

That's a great-looking buck!  Perhaps Bass Pro Shop in Auburn will want to display it on their wall seeing it was taken in NY.

Probably lived in all those swamps and corn fields along 81 north around the rest stop. Ive always said there has to be huge deer in there. I also saw a deer this big hanging at a barn along 96b north of Candor anyone heard of that deer yet?

[sampotter]

I don't know- I do believe that it grosses over 200, but probably including the 3 non-typ points. 13 point typical frame though. It is a legit NY buck for sure. These pics have been passed along through the dairy farmer grapevine. The deer was shot on ******* farm.

[WNY Bowhunter]

Sweet pics!  What a monster.  IMHO he's gotta gross close to 200.

[Lawdwaz]

He looks like the guy who had the bogus sheds last year that tried to pass them off as pick ups from down around Chautauqua Lake. 

Slug of a buck either way.

Need more info, can we check Snoops??!!

[WNY Bowhunter]

That's not him.  That idiot/fraud was named Corey Witkor.

That's not him.  That idiot/fraud was named Corey Witkor.

That's the one I was thinking of.  POS

That is what I call a heart attack buck.If I didn't have a heart attack when I saw him I might soon after.  I am not sure if I could remain calm enough to make an accurate shot but I sure would like to find out. ???

[nyantler]

Update: The buck was killed by Dave Edwards in Scott, NY... gross score 205, net score 185 B&C. Looks like it's this years biggest typical in NY.

[HectorBuckBuster]

Wasn't Scott NY is where all those boar where shot this year that escaped from the hunt preserve their?

[WNY Bowhunter]

Dang, looks like his short G2 on the right side kept him from netting in the 190's.  Awesome buck.  Congrats to Dave!!!

Yes there is a game farm there where the boars escaped from.  I've gone down and checked it out but found nothing. 

As for the topic,  thats a heck of a deer!!!!!

No offense Sam but you are not doing the farmer any favors by posting the location where that buck was shot if its legit.

Scott is where a handfull - maybe 2 - of pigs are shot each year.

[HectorBuckBuster]

I know I have seen articles on Syracuse.com and there where atleast 3 shot this year during gun season.

Good point, name of landowner removed.

[gixxer jeffrey]

Definately shot in Homer. Have a co worker who hunts the next farm over....

[SteveB]

Be interested in hearing the story. On a drive, posted up, been hunting him all year etc.

[nyantler]

Was that a dig Steve??

[SteveB]

No - it was a request to hear more about it.

Why, are you hearing something to suggest there might be questions?

Guys shoot a doe, post pics and 3 paragraphs about the hunt.

200 class buck and nothing but a handful of pics in a truck and a field.

People like to hear harvest stories - this might be a good one.

[nyantler]

Yeah some of the guys get really secretive when they kill a monster... they get that celebrity feeling and hold out on the story til they can get a magazine to pay them for it... or to become a pro-staffer for the scent company who's scent they had out. I actually called about this buck and got the "he's taking a low profile and wants to keeps things quiet for a bit, I'll have him call you if he's interested in giving a story." Oh well , still a great buck.

[WNYBuckHunter]

Maybe its the other way around and he doesnt want the celeb type treatment. There are alot of guys that wont talk to anyone about it anymore because they are afraid they will end up getting harassed by everyone.
