Last year i went and seen a reproduction of it at a hunting and fishing show, but i wasnt at all impressed it looked nothign like it did in the magazines guess i was jus expecting it to be way bigger, or heavier still a outstanding but none the less

"She said if I hit that fishin hole today, she's be packin all her things and she'd, be gone by noon....I'm gonna miss her, when I get home."

Yea Ive seen a replica of it, nice and symmetric,wide spread, long tines, but not very massive. They aged it at only 3 1/2 years old, imagine what it would have looked like at 5 1/2 years old.
While its a beautiful deer, its definately not the most impressive typical rack Ive ever seen.
Have you ever seen the Breen buck from Minnesota.AWESOME.

rflugge

Yep, saw it, and the Mel Johnson buck, the Del Austin buck, and also the Mike Beatty buck....and have all of their signatures....the hanson buck just doesnt look as big in person...I think I have actually seen bigger running around....

No offense, but how can this deer not be that impressive? It is the largest whitetail deer ever taken. I have not seen it in person, but I think I would have to be pretty impressed.

bigbulls, I dont think anyones saying its not a great buck, because if its the No.1 Typical in the WORLD it has to be something pretty special.
I for one am more impressed by the GROSS score than I am the NET score of a deer. All I am saying is that it is not the most impressive deer that I have ever seen.
I have seen alot of replicas and the most impressive typicals that I have seen are the Breen buck and the ILLINOIS ROAD KILL buck from way back in 1965 (it only scores 176 B/C), but if I were hunting and the Hanson buck and the Illinois Roadkill buck were to both appear at the same time and I had a choice which one to take, I would take the Illinois buck.
Maybe there is someone here that might know the buck that I am talking about and post a pic for you, I think you will agree.

I do agree that there are deer that have antlers that I, myself, like more than the Hanson buck. I personally like deer that have racks that more encircle the deer's head rather than spread way out with no curve to the main beams. More of a matter of personal likes and dislikes. Still it's one heck of a buck. It just sounded like no one thought it was that great.
Hey rflugge, Can we come hunting around your neck of the woods?<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Is there a site where you can page through these big bucks so as to compare them at the same time? Thanks One Shot One Kill Striper Phil

Now that I think about it are there other claims to the world record, racks by some other rating system than Boone and Crocket. Its a nice system but who gave the B& C the right to be the system to call who the world redord is. I don't know the history here. As stated above some non world record (B&C)look more pleasing.
I don't like that a nice rack where the tips come back together a bit loose points on the tip to tip measurement. I like a bit of curve back, looks much better.

Any way whats the skinny here? Thanks again One Shot One Kill Striper Phil
