regardless, it is a beauty.... that's for sure...

Beautiful buck, but there ain't no way it has those measurements.

The pic looks fudged to me.

I cant believe the size nor the measurments. Texas says on average that a whitetail bucks ears are 13" from tip to tip. I would give this buck maybe double that being 26" (not bad). If the buck weighs 228 lbs i'm more impressed with the size of that pooch. WOW what a dog!

That cant be a free ranging deer. I thought the King Ranch had a 12' fence around it and that they shot steroids or something in them bucks.Haven'ttheyseen Bigfoot on that reanch too!

20k for a monster is wayyyy too much money! But that is a MONSTER

DougMD, youre right Milo Hansen does have the record at 213 and change. I agree that there would be more hype about this deer ( even if it was penned) if it did surpass the current world record by that much. You have to have a lot go right with a rack to break the record by that much. But record or not, still a very nice deer, I definitly wouldnt hesistate to pull the trigger, would I pay 20K for it not likely. I'd like mine to cost me the 40 bucks for my tag and not be in a fence. I'm not saying that the deer was tied up waiting for the hunter, just saying thats not how i would do it, each to there own. Very nice deer no matter where it was taken or what it scores

Twenty thousand dollars? I've been hunting for over 40 years, averaging over 40 days in the field a year, probably spent that amount and then some but no monster buck... Yet.

Testing. testing. 1-2

The bad part about this is the fact that this sport is leaning towards a "Rich Mans Sport". And someone was willing to shoot an animal for 20K dollars that we (Hunters in Ohio) could have pointed this guy/gal in the right direction for a deer of comperable size and mass for 19,700.00 less. Just my opinion...this is sad.

One area that definitely has been doctored: Measurements and score. That buck is not 200 class net.

I don't think King Ranch is high-fenced, so, they can be entered. I believe King Ranch is roughly the size of Rhode Island...
