Its a piece of historical art and someone with the coin would buy it to put in their den. People spend more money on less IMO. the million was a hypothetical "would you sell the actual rack" number. Just pulling it out of my butt. On 1/11/2019 at 4:10 PM, The_Real_TCIII said: $1MM?? Who would turn that down? Give me the money and a replica and I'm hunting all over the mid-west the following season. Im very skeptical of that number though. You may be able to really hustle with endorsement deals, licensing, shows, etc and earn money off a monster buck but I doubt anyone is offering seven figures for one I bet the majority wouldn't turn that offer down, but I bet you'd be surprised by those who would.

It is as Gman said like winning the lottery. People can downplay the money, people can downplay what they would do - doesn't change the fact that one can monetize a world record - making life-altering money for something that one pays to pursue as a hobby. The guy shot one deer, one time, and made $1.5M off of it. I want to be clear that I wasn't downplaying the money or what I would do, but I do think it's an interesting question. Not everyone wants the fame that comes with the fortune. And what I'm gathering, is that if he really wants to capitalize to the full extent, he needs to do appearances, go on tv shows, tell his story etc. Not everyone is about that. My guess is that the stereotypical hunter is even less about that than lets say a world record snow boarder would be.

I wonder what he spent in lawyer fees just to get Rompola to go away lol this is my point. Not everyone is willing or wanting to do that.

Unless you are extremely wealthy, who wouldn’t want easy $ for showing off your buck at some events and allowing replicas to be made. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk this will be interpreted wrong, but 1 million isn't exactly life changing for everyone. Lets say you get 4 weeks vacation a year. Would you burn that all to go make more money? Because you can't quit your job off 1MM, I know I can't. When would you hunt? I think the replica thing is a no brainier for almost all of us. So is a few magazine articles. But how much would you really be willing to take that "second job"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tucker, 26, first spotted the buck on Nov. 5, opening day of muzzleloader season, but his muzzleloader misfired. He got a second chance two days later when the deer walked out into a field 40 yards away. This time his rife fired and the deer dropped. HOLY SH!T!? Could you imagine blowing it the first time?

One million ,while I’d say it is life changing to almost all ( most can’t come up,with one thousand in an emergency). But to live off it would be a stretch. Most will tell you, that you can pull, 5% a year off your money, without reducing the principle, that would be 50 k .A few back to back down years , could really reduce your principal,so you could take even less. But pay off debt, keep working ,invest it, leverage time,dollar cost avenge ,don’t sell or try and time and in 20 more years ,you’ll be sitting in butter . However ,I’d burn my vacation time for sure,as it’s just a few years you’ll be in top demand . There were years when our kids were young ,that I hunted very very few days, hardly remember that now . I never would have mentioned my gun misfired , so I could leverage that Great powder , gun etc. into sponsorships .

I could be wrong. it certainly has to drop. 2nd place doesn't visit the whitehouse or do interviews on GMA lol. Without the title you're worth significantly less. The whole point is being "the biggest ever" lol. edit to say i'd rather pay money to listen to a guy like rinella, newberg or even Lee talk about hunting and none of them hold any records that I know of. It's not to diminish these hunters, but heck the one guy had 2 shots at the record for god's sake. They're good hunters but they're also lucky.

Has a better chance at Winning the Powerball as to killing a buck of that size where they hunt. They will line up to throw money at that guy.
