RE: Big Buck Found
Awesome buck! Good luck for you friend! I think P&Y would have to accept it, but I don't see why he would enter it knowing it came from a pen. Atlas, man you need relax. The guy didn't do anything wrong, and you have no idea what the circumstances regardingthis deers life was...

Ahh give Atlasman a break, he's a vegetarian obviously if he thinks this story is sad. Of course Atlasman wouldnt have shot the deer, he would have been able to tellit was raised in a cage its whole life and defensless to boot. I think the sadest part is Atlasman's inability to comprehend things that dont happen to him.
No, the buck probablyshouldnt be allowed in the books IMO. And hell yeah, its a beautiful buck. I dont see what the hell is sad about this story, seems like a happy ending to me. Plus we get to see Atlasman quote the heck out of everyone, woohoo!!!

I think he killed a defenseless pen raised deer. Can't imagine being too excited over killing a helpless pet that has had it's instincts dulled by living in a cage.
Sad story.
Sad story.

RE: Big Buck Found
What a hoss! Your buddy took the deer fair and square. No regrets, and he should go in the books. This is the result of an act of God, and a once in a lifetime event. I'm sure that there are several in P&Y and B&C that fall into the "dumb luck" category. From reading your account, I assumed that a rifle was used, but that would put him in B&C. He saw the deer at 100 yds and then shot after seeing the rack. That rules the bow out. On the other hand, if a bow was used, then how could he miss seeing the tag? I guess that's what it all hinges on for me. Either way, nice wallhanger.

He used a rifle.
B&C is what I should have written.

Nice buck. COngrats to the hunter.
THe buck was in the free-range wild woods, when he was harvested, so I see no problem with it.
BUt I don't think it should be accepted into the record books, since it was a pen raised deer for the majority of its life.
I too think it should be mounted with the tag in its ear, and the hunter should get some info from the game farm about this buck if he can.
