Apparently the man who shot it leased out a whole pasture of the king ranch for something like 145,000 dollars because that deer had been seen several times thereand he did not want anybody else hunting in that pasture. This is according to an old man on my lease so I guess its credible information.

For anyone not familiar with KING. Shooting that deer alone costs $20,000. If special arrangements were made for the hunt that fee would be in addition to the $20,000 for taking that deer.
Here is the current fee structure..
Hunt #1
up to a 150 Boone & Crockett Gross Score(3 day hunt,) $5,500.00 flat fee,
151 - 170 B & C, $5,500 plus $200.00 per point above the 150 B & C gross score
171 - 180 B & C, $5,500 plus $250.00 per point above the 150 B & C gross score
181 - 199 B & C, $15,000
200+ B & C, $20,000

OR....this is the real story.....
Cyber photos: A tangled Web indeed

Justin Feild learned a valuable lesson about the Internet this month. Feild guides whitetail hunters for the world-famous King Ranch. The King Ranch is an 825,000-acre Texas wildlife paradise, the sort of place that routinely produces huge bucks and occasionally yields a monster.
In 1998, King Ranch cowboy Adan Alvarez shot a 26-pointer that scored 229 4/8 Boone and Crockett non-typical points. It's the sixth-biggest non-typical Texas buck ever reported to B&C. In 1973, New Yorker Alexander Guest shot a King Ranch 12-pointer that scored 1944/8 typical B&C points, still the third-best typical in Texas history.
As a joke, Feild had a photo taken of himself with a client's nice buck. The wide-antlered deer had a small droptine and scored about 159 B&C. Like a fisherman holding his catch out toward the camera, Feild squatted well behind the deer to make it look bigger.
He then sent the digital photo to a handful of friends, along with an outrageous list of measurements that totaled 243 gross typical points.
"It was a joke," said a chagrined Feild, "but it got totally out of hand. Within two days, that e-mailed photo had traveled from California to Florida and everywhere in between. The day after I sent the original e-mail, I sent out an e-mail explaining it was just a joke, but it was too late."
Feild has seen various versions of his original e-mail. Some call the deer a new world record. Others make fun of a professional deer guide who missed a score by about 80 inches.
"I've gotten some interesting phone calls," Feild said. "I've learned a lesson about playing jokes on the Internet. It can get away from you real quick."
