RE: The Milo Hanson Buck
 

Just adding a little comment here. Famous shed hunter Bentley Coben picked up a shed antler from this deer and has a pic on his site.

I know this is an old thread, but Milo Hanson told me directly that the buck was aged at 4.5 years old, possibly 5.5, through tooth wear.

Lol umm yeah,as if being the world record isnt enough

I think I do....Old enough to be the greatest typical Whitetail ever. I think that's quite enough said, myself.:patriot:

I read 3.5 back around the time it was killed, it never really impressed me, had a lot of inches and was even, but not the mass you would think a record buck should have

Im suprised the antler didnt break off when it went down

***It really is a pretty spindly rack for a world record animal and not what I would expect in body size either for a Canadian buck! I like the Jordan buck much more than this one as it is a real stud!

one of milo's shots clipped a main beam and it was taped in the first pic published

Yup i know.he would have been one unhappy camper if it broke off.b and c wont accept a broken antler.

There are diffrent species of deer in canada.the large ones are the dakota species which this buck is not.just because a buck has a large body doesnt mean it has a large rack and vis versa.i also would think that a world record should be a heavy old buck with plenty of mass but the tape mesure isnt forgiveing and the tine length and symetry is what makes this buck the record.
