RE: 41 point buck
The kids name is Baylor and they did not offer $150k for it. He didnt even sell the rack! I met him last year at a hunting show and he was a funny little kid. The deer scored 224 or 228, i dont remember but it was a heck of a buck. As funny as it sounds, this kid was actually hunting this particular buck and ended up killing him! Lucky or not this kid is really going to be something in the hunting woods if this buck didnt spoil him!

RE: 41 point buck
Your typical, well circulated,yet totally inaccurate web story! lol !The pix have circulated arond the net for the past 2 years and claim it's been taken in about 6 different states. Last time I heard it was a buck from OK.
It's a good buck, no doubt..... but man do the math on it's size.... it'smost CERTAINLY NOT a rack worth 150K to Cabela's or anyone for that matter! Thats more than what BPS paid for the (Albia) WR buck that carries about 100" more of antler!!! I always love the unbelievably inflated values on racks these days! I know several antler buyers and I assure you.... they just don't bring that kind of cash. A B&C minimum usually generates around $2K and we go up slowly from there. It would be very, very rare for ANY wild whitetail to bring more than $25K for it's antlers unless that deer was World Record status. Wishful thinkin' [:-]

Ithought anyone who reads this should know I emailed the person in charge of buying taxidermy mounts at Cabela’s and his response was THIS:
Hello,
No! Cabela’s Inc has not offered any money to a boy in Oklahoma! Oklahoma has a state law that prohibits the sale of wildlife or their parts. It’s illegal for him to offer it or for anyone to offer money for it.
