Default RE: New World Record Iowa Buck

New World Record Buck; here are the details:
>
> Shot by a 15 year old kid with a muzzleloader Monday September 29 and
not
> recovered until the next day. DNR WERE involved. They were informed of
the
> deer' s existence and the harvesting of it. They were taken to the
harvest
> site. All appears to be kosher. Filming of the shot did not happen due
to
> forgetting to load tape into the camera. There are numerous trail cam
pics
> this year and last I am told. Randy McPherren and Dale Ream did the
green
> scorre at 322 4/8. It would seem that the buck was only 3 1/2 years
old
> when
> the first pics were taken and the Lindberg sheds were found. The deer
was
> harvested right in the area he had always been. The " Grandfathers"
farm
> just
> outside town. He may have only grown one antler last year. I have held
a
> shed antler found right there that seems to be from him. This deer
will be
> the highest scoring hunter taken deer yet known. AWSOME and great
> provenance.
>
> This deer was just taken by the boy on the right. The boy has muscular
> dystrophy and is in a wheelchair, yet he managed to
> shoot the buck all by himself. This buck has one base coming out of
the
> head
> that is 16 inches around. About 2 inches up it splits into 2 beams and
the
> deer' s C-1 measurements are just shy of 10. The deer carried the mass
all
> the way to the end and had just over 68 inches of mass. I believe the
brow
> tines on this buck are roughly 14 and 11 inches and there is a 12 inch
> forked point coming forward from between the brows. The sheds from
this
> particular buck in a preserve from last year and when he shed he also
shed
> the entire bone between both antlers as well. There is about a 1"
piece of
> extra bone from his skull on the inside of both sheds, which explains
this
> years unique rack."
