This might shed some light.
The story is the deer was shot 1/2 hour after legal hunting time by a non-resident rifle hunter from Louisiana. He got cold feet and immediatly left the province leaving this and another deer hanging back at camp.
The Dryden Ministry office now has the deer. The 18 point grosses 223+ and nets 199-7/8 green typical. 12" of non-typical and an unmatched 7" tine kept this deer from world record consideration.
More info will become available after the investigation is completed.
Rumour has it a larger deer may have been taken by two teenagers in the same area. Is it the year of the teenager or what (Albia Buck etc.)?

The guy was driving back to camp when the buck ran out in the headlights. He shot it in the lights. [:@]
