Rumors are flying
 

Here in western Iowa that the new world record whitetail was taken by muzzleloader not 5 miles from my house. It has been said it will come close to 400"s which I find a little hard to believe. Last year they were doing flyovers by helicopter doing a population check and a monster was spotted and they said then that it was the next world record. If anyone has heard anything about this deer please let me know. I have calls into the DNR but haven't heard anything back as of yet. Just seems a little farfetched that a deer could come close to 400"s.

It has to happen sooner or later. Maybe this is it!!

im willing to agree with early in. If i see that i'll believe it. Pictures would have been posted on everywebsite everywhere within like 20mins of the deers recovery.

RE: Rumors are flying
 

Iam interested to see where this goes!

RE: Rumors are flying
 

It'a a crock!;)

RE: Rumors are flying
 

Amen to that, plus, obvious nontypical and those kind just don't do it for me. Now if someone finally cracks the Hanson etc...that I'm interested in.

If you had the chance at a big non-typical I know you'd shoot it and so do you! [:-]

RE: Rumors are flying
 

Oh hell yeah Greg but if I had two standing side by side I'd pick the typical...Now I'm talking the freak racks like Beatty's and that former Goliath buck....they just don't impress me.

RE: Rumors are flying
 

I prefer the looks of a nice symetrical typical. However, to me non-typicals are rare, I've only seen 1 from my stand in over 40 years. They still impress me though and my goal is to shoot one some day even though I like typicals better.

How can 300 inches of antler on a wild deer not be impressive!!??

RE: Rumors are flying
 

You know me... I always believe what I'm told.[&:] I believe..... I believe.[&:];)

RE: Rumors are flying
 

Im in agreement with you. I like the typicals, But i sure want one those freaky non typicals .

RE: Rumors are flying
 

I like mass,any kind of mass.

I love those big narly non's and the big typicals.

I think I like the really big non's better than the typicals,maybe because I grew up with a 196" typical on the wall of my house.

RE: Rumors are flying
 

Rob's just tired of shooting his "non typical" half racks, that's why he doesn't like them.:D

RE: Rumors are flying
 

I’m not saying that it’s not true but 400” in the wild is hard to believe.

RE: Rumors are flying
 

I have my doubts about this, and would prolly go with the just a rumor people.

What is not a rumor is the world record buck was killed just 10 min from my house. (Not a hunting kill tho).

RE: Rumors are flying
 

Pics? :D:);)

RE: Rumors are flying
 

If you've ever held a 400" elk rack, you'll know how nearly impossible this sounds. Even if it's a Photoshop job, I'm sure we'd all like to see what a 400" deer looks like. Bring on those pics...

RE: Rumors are flying
 

God knows you shot enough freak racks already[8D]

RE: Rumors are flying
 

Whew.....for a second there I thought this might bea postabout "Mrs. iowabob85" :)I swear...I haven't left Illinois!:D:D

J/K bud......:D:D

RE: Rumors are flying
 

LOL!

RE: Rumors are flying
 

Say it ain't so. Rob shooting a typical??? What's the world coming to. Maybe he meant to say atypical :D

RE: Rumors are flying
 

I agree with the earlier post regarding a 400" elk.

Did Rompola relocate or have family in that area???[8D]

This is buck is estimated in the 270" range. My question is where would you stick another 130" on this animal???[:o]

RE: Rumors are flying
 

Hahahahaha! I want to see pictures, last night i heard there was a 365inch 7point taken just up the road.... by yours truly. I'll post pictures for you guys.. tomarrow...:eek:

RE: Rumors are flying
 

this is where you put another 148 in of antler.. he's called high roller scores 418...largest whitetail ever

RE: Rumors are flying
 

Holy chit!!

RE: Rumors are flying
 

Thats a heck of a lot of antler!

RE: Rumors are flying
 

I saw a picture of that deer today in a gunshop. I was told it wasthe new World Record, but I didn't get the score or anything. It was just a picture that looked like it had been printed off of the email. I didn't pay too much attention to it though. Now I wish I would have.It sure was a nice deer though.............

RE: Rumors are flying
 

That's not the picture I am talking about. I didn't see these before I posted. I am talkingabout the original post that said that a new WR had been shot close to his house.

RE: Rumors are flying
 

Edit: Just realized thats old news.

RE: Rumors are flying
 

THE BUCK I POSTED IS NAMED HIGH ROLLER HE IS A CAPTIVE DEER...HE IS NOT DEAD

RE: Rumors are flying
 

418" buck WOW!

RE: Rumors are flying
 

well see the thing is that most deer that get that big are not wild they are farm animals

RE: Rumors are flying
 

Like the shirt brother! SWEET BUCK man!

RE: Rumors are flying
 

Sorry fellas as of now I am too also saying that it is a crock. Haven't heard anything since the first day except for everyone asking me what I heard about it. I even asked the game warden and he hadn't heard anything and I am pretty sure he would be the first one to know. So until I see some rack hard proof it looks like I jumped the gun on this one. I guess it is a lesson well learned get the proof before I open my big mouth. I think I will tell the guy that told me about it to do the same. Alot of people at the DNR are talking about it but they would love to have a animal that size taken from our area for monetary reasons for the state.

RE: Rumors are flying
 

Dude, there are at least 3-4 non-typicals in the300 inch range in the record bookand the record book does not allow "farm animals".

There are wild deer with that much antler on their head.

RE: Rumors are flying
 

This one was killed 12/01/07

RE: Rumors are flying
 

Wow! He's big Bob!
