RE: Big Buck Found
Hey ! he's a darn good buck and if he's not in his pen ,then he's fair game in my eye's.But I too think if i was to mount him ,and I'm sure he will ,I'd leave the tag on as well.What a story this wou;ld be to share with your friend's .I'd of definately taken him myself ,and if it had of been with the bow and i seen the tag ,I would have certainly questioned it ,but if I knew I was hunting permissioned property then I'd of stuck him as well. As for being entered into the book's ,now knowing where he come from ,I habve to agree with the other's ,NO.

RE: Big Buck Found
"He had almost finished climbing his stand when he saw the deer about 100 yds. away. He watched it for a couple of minutes and when it finally picked up it's head and he saw the antlers, he shot it."
" Here's another question.... Should he be able to enter it into P&Y...... it gross scored around 160." Nice buck no matter where he was taken. dd |
RE: Big Buck Found
Unsuspecting of it being a pen raised deer, the hunter gave fair chase and harvested the animal. Knowing it was a pen raised deer, after the fact, it would be questionable whether or not it should be put in the record books. A buck like that can and has been harvested as a free roaming whitetail, I say let him have his glory, it isn't his fault the deer got away and stepped into his path. He was in the right place at the right time and I would have done the same!!!!

RE: Big Buck Found
I agree with amayerican if you get it mounted keep the tag on. Great deer to your friend by the way.

RE: Big Buck Found
That is a heck of a nice buck. I would have shot it too. With a gross score of 160 he won't make the minimum after deductions, but theoretically speaking, if he were bigger , and did score high enough he would probably be allowed in the B&C books.

RE: Big Buck Found
This isn't a SAD story at all byany means... just look at the smiles on the children's faces!
Record book? -NO WAY I'd allow it. Would I mount it? - Yes, it carries a good story. Would I be proud of it? - Only in the sense that mother nature sent me a magnificent creature, but not in the sense that I studied the land and outwitted the animal. Afterall, I could've probably walked up to within 5 yards of this pet and took it with a spear. |
RE: Big Buck Found
Without knowing the full story, I think almost anyone would have shot this animal. I would guess that even if they did know, a majority still would have shot it. JMO.

RE: Big Buck Found
ORIGINAL: Diesel77 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 I dont see what the hell is sad about this story |
RE: Big Buck Found
ORIGINAL: Okie807 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. dd |
