RE: Maryland Monster
 

I've seen this same picture 3 times already, attributed to 3 different states:

1. This one of course.

2. New York, shot by an Amish kid who canot be in the picture because of his religion

3. Ohio, same story.

Which one is it?

RE: Maryland Monster
 

This deer was taken with a shotgun yesterday in Charles County, MD. It's not the same deer as the Ohio crossbow killed "Amish" buck...although they do look strikingly similiar with their rows of incredibly long tines. They'll probably be the #1 and #2 deer in the world this year.

RE: Maryland Monster
 

Yeah the Ohio amish buck was a spitting image of this deer but it did not have the little drop tine of the bases and did not have as many points but i see where ur coming from
there has been 3 world record deer shot in the same year 1st the TimberGoast ranch, then the Amish Ohio buck , and know his one, unbeilevable[>:]

RE: Maryland Monster
 

There is a trail camera picture posted on thehomepage of the website linkthat Bionic posted above.

RE: Maryland Monster
 

They must be hunting on some great property. That "normal" buck behind the monster would normally be considered very good.

The monster though is awesome. Charles county is getting a reputation for turning out some big bucks.

RE: Maryland Monster
 

Where in charles county was the 'monster' taken?

RE: Maryland Monster
 

this deer was taken in charles county maryland for sure about a half hour away from my house. dont know where exactly and i dont know who killed it but you can see more pics at www.buckwildadventures.com

RE: Maryland Monster
 

Could it be near Myrtle Grove WMA?

RE: Maryland Monster
 

I don't post rumors.... This buck and the amish buck are very different bucks from very different states. Compare the pictures side to side. Are you sureyou have seen this picture 3 times already?

RE: Maryland Monster
 

I'm not looking to get into an extended argument over this, but the pics in the truck look like the ones I saw a week or two ago.

RE: Maryland Monster
 

I am sorry this ain't no Maryland buck. If so it's a state Record.

This would be all over the local news. In all the papers , for Sure win the Md Big Buck contest.

Ok some find out Who Did the Taxidermy. It had to be checked in So
DNR has a Record of this ,if not it DNR can take the buck.

I am a Scorer , I see this all over the web Just like the 500" elk with a bow Yea behind a fence in Canada. that one like some others a proven
a Hoax.

RE: Maryland Monster
 

since you have all the facts...

RE: Maryland Monster
 

Works for me ,That what I was talking about . Point Taken
Now I have better facts than I had before.

RE: Maryland Monster
 

i stumbled across it myself. glad to see its legit and not a rumor now tho!

RE: Maryland Monster
 

Awsome! thanks for the post. Glad to see us Eastern states are starting to get some respect for our bucks now. I am from NJ and over the last few years they have been getting bigger and bigger. Eastern shore MD, Monmouth and Ocean countyNJ, Bucks and Montgomerycounty PA

RE: Maryland Monster
 

sounds like a fish story shoot then call your buddy

RE: Maryland Monster
 

hmmm.... prolly had a couple more years to grow.... i woulda let him walk.



ABOVE STATEMENT SAID WITH RIDICULOUS AMOUNTS OF SARCASM!

RE: Maryland Monster
 

Here is a picture from the bowhunting thread.
Is that DNR I see standing around?

RE: Maryland Monster
 

I think it is DNR, but it could also be the State Police for some reason or another. When is the last time you saw 3 DNR Officers at the same location? lol

RE: Maryland Monster
 

Heres a question, on my first post there is a link to another site that had the story, and the DNR info, even a link to the DNR webpage about the deer... did you read that before making your first post?

RE: Maryland Monster
 

I admit I jumped like alot of people do , no I did't see the link. It made yesterdays front Cover of the Sport section in the Sun.
Right Now he's the luckyest man in MD . Right spot Right time my hats off to him.

The only thing I think about is the bucks blood line is still in that area , the next couple of years will tell.

RE: Maryland Monster
 

My guess is it was poached Deer in populated areas dont live long enough to get rack that big... Specialy in Charles County... I know a guy down there that works for the park service and he is prob one of the biggest poachers down there... Has a 2 car garage full of awsome racks and dosent even know what kind of bow he owns and what kind of broadheadfs he shoots:D... I know what kind of bow he has, it's called a WV bow(22-250)

I'd say there are more poachers out there than legal hunters!!!!

RE: Maryland Monster
 

That buck is just incredible. The rack is enormous and would be a record deer for almost any state. Did you notice the size of the body though? Sure, a rack that size will make any body look smallish, but the gap between the size of the rack and the body is much greater than what you'd see in Ohio, Iowa, etc. In any case, that thing's amazing.

Mr. Longbeard, it's a shame that so many people will make ignorant comments like this. Do you think it's fair to the hunter to"guess" that it was poached?Besides the weak reason given, what would make you jump to this conclusion? (FYI, there are a BUNCH of trophy deer that are killed in highly-populated areas each year, due in large part to the lack of hunting that is done in those areas). Just because you know of one low-life who poaches and claims to kill deer legally, why would you assume that this guy did something against the law? How do you think it was poached? I'm interested in hearing your theory. Funny how there's a nay-sayer in every crowd. :eek:

RE: Maryland Monster
 

they guy shot it with a shotgun during the shotgun season...and he killed it during the mid day hours on a legal day to hunt...thats not poaching to me.

sounds like you are jealous

RE: Maryland Monster
 

Exactly, getblown ;)

RE: Maryland Monster
 

WOW is all I can say

RE: Maryland Monster
 

i have a ? i went into to cnapeswitchback post to buckwildadventures forum to look at the photos.look at buckmaster posts page 1 then go to page 5 and look at that one.now my ? is how long do you md hunters let your deer go with the guts in.now look good at photo 1 and 2 on page one

RE: Maryland Monster
 

I don't understand this thread. Why when someone gets a monster like this, does people that do not even know him come on here and say "I bet it was poached". Why would poeple say that?

RE: Maryland Monster
 

Mr Longbeard I really resent your statement about WV Bow I am sure there just as many hunters of that type in Md as in Wv or many other states,

My guess is it was poached Deer in populated areas dont live long enough to get rack that big... Specialy in Charles County... I know a guy down there that works for the park service and he is prob one of the biggest poachers down there... Has a 2 car garage full of awsome racks and dosent even know what kind of bow he owns and what kind of broadheadfs he shoots:D... I know what kind of bow he has, it's called a WV bow(22-250)

RE: Maryland Monster
 

I read somewhere it weighed 150lbs.

RE: Maryland Monster
 

It happens every time BC, every damn time.[:'(]

RE: Maryland Monster
 

Yea, we went down to hitchcocks and the body on it was small.

[blockquote]Opening Weekend Deer Firearm Harvest Steady
New State Record Non-typical Buck Taken in Charles County
[hr]
ANNAPOLIS — Deer hunters had a good start to the firearm season this year with an opening weekend harvest on par with last year and one hunter taking home the biggest non-typical whitetail ever harvested in Maryland.
Hunters unofficially harvested 17,231 deer during the opening weekend of the firearms season, 80 more than the unofficial number of 17,151 reported last year during the same period. The reported antlered harvest increased from 7,956 deer last year to 8,019 this year, while the antlerless harvest increased slightly from 9,195 to 9,212.
Sika deer comprised 143 of the antlered and 147 of the antlerless deer during opening weekend, making it comparable to the 133 antlered and 164 antlerless sika deer reported during last year’s opener.
Hunters tolerated fog and warm temperatures to harvest 2,529 deer on Sunday in the 14 counties that permit Sunday hunting, representing an increase of about 3% over last year’s Sunday total of 2,462. This year, Anne Arundel and Montgomery were added to the list of counties that permit Sunday hunting. Both of these counties experienced a significant increase (more than 15 percent) in the opening weekend deer harvest over last year.
“Sunday hunting is gradually catching on with our hunters,” said Doug Hotton, Department of Natural Resources’ Deer Project Leader. “This day is proving to be a viable option to increase harvest and balance our deer population with its environment and human neighbors.”
A new state record buck was taken by Bill Crutchfield, Jr. of Charles County near his home in Newburg, Maryland. Crutchfield watched the buck for approximately two hours mid-day Monday before finding an opportunity to take the massive deer with a single shotgun round.
Maryland DNR Wildlife & Heritage Service and Natural Resources Police personnel examined the buck on Tuesday. DNR staff confirmed that the buck has 26 scoreable points (13 per side) and a preliminary antler score of 268 5/8 inches. If approved by national scoring organizations, the buck will eclipse the current Maryland non-typical record by 40 inches, becoming the number one non-typical buck ever taken on the entire East Coast, and ranking among the top20 all-time largest non-typical deer in the world.
Bob Beyer, associate director for game management, preliminarily scored the buck but official confirmation will not be possible until the antlers have met the minimum 60-day ‘drying’ period and an official score is taken. A deer’s antlers are classified as being typical when they are symmetrical and regular in shape. Non-typical antlers are those that have uneven or unusual tines, irregular points or outgrowths.
“For its size, Maryland has always been one of the top-producing trophy whitetail states,” said Paul Peditto, director of DNR’s Wildlife and Heritage Service. “Our hunters have kept our trophy status a well-guarded secret; I expect that will change now.”
Crutchfield’s buck weighed 150 pounds after field dressing and had a 22-inch inside spread and massive 25-inch main beams sporting more than 5 inches of circumference mass along each beam-length. The former non-typical record was taken in November 1987 by Jack Poole in Montgomery County during the firearms season and scored 228 4/8 inches.
Beyer, who measured the former non-typical record nearly 20 years ago added, “This new record buck is truly remarkable and is a perfect testament to the superb potential of Maryland’s deer management program and the quality of our state’s deer herd and habitat.”
Deer firearms season continues through December 9.

RE: Maryland Monster
 

Oh I don't know... Maybe it has something to do with human nature...(greed) People sneak on Lochraven resivor every day... Why is that???

A monster buck can make the most ethical hunter do something un ethical!!!

I'll give it a few month and see if a friend of the lucky hunter comes out and tells a different version of the story;)

RE: Maryland Monster
 

Mr. LB, if you don't hear any legitimate accusations by, say, March 15, will you post a public apology to the entire forum and most importantly, will you send a letter to the hunter himself expressing your apology?

Making unfounded accusations like this is, in my book, as pathetic as suing somebody that you have no right to go after. You practice under the assumption that people are guilty until proven innocent... What country are you from? [&:]
