25 years ago

[Water Rat]

Boy time flies .....it was 25 years ago this year that Hansen shot his world record buck. Still the Boone & Crockett record as far as I know.

Funny thing is 25 years ago there wants deer management like there is today. And we can produce what nature did.....

If I’m not mistaken that deer was 3.5

MR Hansen will go down in history as the luckiest deer hunter that ever lived.  If you know the story of this deer hunt, you know what I mean.

The Johnny King buck took that tile away from Hanson back in 2013 at 221 6/8" .  Hanson's scored 220 and 5/8". Still a beautiful buck in any ones eyes for typical.

Was under the impression B&C said the King buck is not the world record.

Good thing they had 4WD to run that thing down.

Interesting investment.

Yes, apparently collecting antlers is a big money hobby.  Collectors would pay big time for the world record rack.

 I  quite sure the King buck's rack didn't become non-typical  due to 4wd,  LOL.

No. That quote was for the Hanson buck and 4wd had a big part in killing that buck

different ages are floating around the internet but knowing someone who's talked to him with pieces of the puzzle it seemed to be 4.5 yrs old. makes sense as it could have a majority of its growth by then and often they start growing stickers, "trash", and other points after that.

maybe not to the extent that it is today but it was still around and Mr. Hanson still had many of the concepts in mind.  one example, he knew enough to preserve and save the whole lower jawbone all these years.

As he was told by biologists that checked the deer. A world record caliber deer you save everything he had a lawyer very fast and a promotor.

Yeah it was all about protection and the money. He had it in Syracuse when I saw it one year.

promoter. Is not my favorite ,jordon buck is still more impressive it's just a 10..., as are many others for me. Breen buck comes to mind  as well.

I'm with you G man. I have always thought the Jordan buck was the most impressive rack i have ever seen. It's just a matter of personal preference I guess. I can remember a huge 11 point that Stan Potts got a long time ago that was another one that really impressed me.

[dbHunterNY]

Lol... I'm told if you saw it, it was a replica. Friend of mine had a big buck measured by some guys that have measured many of the biggest. They're all official measurers for multiple books. Story has it the real one didn't leave his house when replicas were made.

Wow, time sure does fly by and it doesn't seem like that was 25 years ago!   I saw him at the Rochester Sportsman's show and that was pretty neat. I purchased one of his tee shirts, think I wore it once and then squirreled it away. 

25 years sure goes by fast. smh

Totally agree with both!

[coonhunter]

I'm sure most of the world class mounts I have seen over the years were replicas. I wouldn't know for sure because I didn't ask, and I would never touch one. I'm not obsessed with them, but it is pretty cool to see the amount of antler it takes to get to 180+.
