Read the Snopes link provided by AF Hunter, that deer DID NOT go 412, they said a shade over 300 and the trick photography.

RE: Nebraska's "412 Buck"
Thats been going around for a couple years, thers alot of controversy on the pics.

RE: Nebraska's "412 Buck"
Look at the guy's left hand compared to his right hand in the second photo. Really looks like the photo was doctored.

If i remember correctly i thought that deer was killed on some kind of preserve. Not positive though Though typically a trustworthy site.....I tend to believe the recent NAW article in this matter. It's not claiming to be the world's heaviest (it would miss by almost ONE HUNDRED POUNDS). And......similar deer (recorded 380lbs) have been killed near there. |

RE: Nebraska's "412 Buck"
I think that the guys head that is in the picture could weigh in around 412 lbs. [&:]

Does anyone have the NAW article so that we can see what they are saying? I totally agree. NAW would not publish a story about a "fake" deer, and you can never trust what you read on the internet. Plus what the hell would snopes know about deer anyways. Oh, and by the way, Snopes is very good at what they do. |

It is their business to thoroughly research and either verify or debunk Internet rumors. A business so propserous the Discovery Channel started a show doing the same thing. You may have heard of it, it's call Mythbusters. Oh, and by the way, Snopes is very good at what they do. [/quote] Im not saying that they arent good at what they do. But for me, i would rather trust what NAW would publish about a deer then what snopes would. |
RE: Nebraska's "412 Buck"
The NAW article clearly states that the deer was checked and verified by reservation game wardens using a "Mule deer Tape" to estimate live weight via girth. The whitetail tape was too small to even be used.
The deer was logged in by the game wardens as 412#. It was stated that the deers hindquarter actually sat above the level of the truck bed it was that big. I thought the pictures looked legit the first time I saw them and it seems they were. Too many armchair photoshop experts out there. |
RE: Nebraska's "412 Buck"
Is it the same deer as in the Snopes link? It is their business to thoroughly research and either verify or debunk Internet rumors. A business so propserous the Discovery Channel started a show doing the same thing. You may have heard of it, it's call Mythbusters. Oh, and by the way, Snopes is very good at what they do. Like I said......he's not claiming to have the world record.....in fact....he's (the hunter)not claiming ANY "notoriety", at all (quite the contrary). He only said he'd shot a big deer. The internet is where the "trouble" came into the equation. He's killed some giants in the past (score-wise) and damned near passed this one up.....because it didn't meet his expectations scoring-wise (I think it scored in the low 130s). It's almost ON HUNDRED POUNDS lighter than the world record heaviest whitetail. So he wasn't going for this angle, at all. It's just an awesome deer.....taken by an experienced big deer hunter.....with several (at least 3) witnesses. |

RE: Nebraska's "412 Buck"
One of the stories I read said it came from PA, which is true he did.....I passed him up 2 years ago when he was 315....didnt meet my "Standards" :eek:
If it is real. WOW! Can't wait to see the article. Thats awesome |

RE: Nebraska's "412 Buck"
I read that article as well. You can trust NAW with information. That buck was killed on reservation land, but that makes no difference. It was estimated at 412lbs.I have to be honest, when I first saw pics of that buck I was one of the one's saying it was photoshopped. I stand corrected. As GMMAT said, the world record whitetailis 500lbs+.

RE: Nebraska's "412 Buck"
Deer was measured and estimated weight attained (same method used to determine the world record holding deer at 511#'s).
Deer was killed on a 120,000 Indian Reservation in NE Nebraska. |
RE: Nebraska's "412 Buck"
this is old news! I seen that picture a year ago! Still a very big deer no doubt!
|
RE: Nebraska's "412 Buck"
The purpose of the NAW article was to clarify some of the facts surrounding the deer and dispell some of the internet rumors regarding the buck. The buck was officially estimated to weigh 412 lbs on the hoof. The hunter never claimed any record with the kill and the rack is rather average as far as matureNebraska bucks go, but even if the conservation officers girth-tape estimate was way off and the buck only weighed 380 or even 360 lbs, he is still an awesome specimen of a whitetail deer.

I'm guessing the quartered it instead of dragging it.;) |
RE: Nebraska's "412 Buck"
I wonder how far they tracked it with that gut shot?
|
RE: Nebraska's "412 Buck"
I wonder how far they tracked it with that gut shot? It would be pretty easy to find him. Just follow the indentions down the slope to where he laid.;) |
RE: Nebraska's "412 Buck"
i honestly could not even imagine shooting a deer that big. and i thought 200 pounds on the hoof was big
 |
RE: Nebraska's "412 Buck"
Yes and many sure did doubt it.
|
RE: Nebraska's "412 Buck"
i read that and thought it was old news. i wasnt sure still a good read. i have never seen one that big. anyone read the article about the guy who owes a ton in court fees for what sounds like a bogus accusation for shooting a deer at night with a gun and he got it with a bow and everything that was amazing too.
|
RE: Nebraska's "412 Buck"
I read the article and believe that NAW has the real deal story.I wonder if the other deer in his woods made fun of him? Or whether he had any doe companionship? :D
