Check out the story. Is it a kill or pickup? Brings up some interesting questions, couldn't save the meat, but still in the record books. Comments?

"Playing under the table and dreaming"

He needs his butt kicked along with his guide! This deer should go into the record book, but not the so called hunter.

The Tazman

Something stinks, and it isn't that rotten buck. To shoot a buck at 150yds with a 300win mag and not have any blood......hmmmmm, where did that shot hit? And for the guide to not look around more, that really stinks.

how in hell can he call himself a hunter
like Taz said kick his butt and the guides
They should have gone back in the morning to continue the search not sit in a stand hoping for another buck to come up if one did it would most likely have been lost too
IMO it was a pick up nothing more nothing less.

WHAT A JOKE! It was "his day" even though all he found was the head and antlers. I think that it would have been "my worst day". He found it 40 yards away. He couldn't have looked around. That is a true joke, and I thought the Zaft buck was bad.

Good Luck This Season: Buck Magnet
P.S. Only Chuck Adams can sit at home and see deer so get into the woods. =;^)

I agree Taz!!! He needs an arse whoopin and a reality check. Piece of dung! I find it sick that he is actually proud of himself and is going to take the rack home and brag to everyone about the monster that he shot. 150 yards....I'll never understand the thrill in that.

This buck and the Zaft deer were the results of poor shooting - lost deer that were not recovered.

The guy has the rack, but his story is tainted. How can you be proud of wounding a deer and not recovering it ? Thats beyond me, and says volumes to the non-hunting community.

Doesn't sound like much of a hunter , Unfortunately you see a lot of them that don't bother to look ,or don't know how in the first place .

To shoot at deer any deer, and only look for it for a few hours in fading light, then go back hunting is a major sin .

That buck is NOT a kill in my book. There is a very good chance he would of found it the next mourning but never even gave it a try.

Stories like that do make me sick. Bad shots happen, less than perfect decisions in the heat of the moment happen. Giving up after a "quick" look as to not waste hunting time should never happen and has no excuse.

If he didn't find blood and the deer didn't act like it was hit I can understand not looking for the deer any longer.

Do you think he might have said these things as a way out of scrutiny? You notice the article states that he said"I shot at a monster" he never said he hit it.It sounds fishy to me.

Jeffmiller, I have alwyas wondered what the heck does your signature mean?
