Here's a closer look at the buck... I wouldn't refer to the rack as spindly

I do envy you guys up there that live where deer have that kind of potential.
They do have that kind of potential but it doesnt matter where you hunt,animals do not get big by being stupid!unless of course you hunt an area that is exclusive like i mentioned previously.i have never taken a boone and crocket deer before and i only know of a small handfull in my comunity that have and trust me it isnt a every year kind of thing for them.i never did fill my tag this year,only big buck i seen was within city limits he was about a 160 class.

I'm with you on the TV shows and also videos being put out. I don't watch them much or buy them any more since hunting has turned into just an industry, which is very sad after the way I was brought up back in the 50s. There are an awfull lot of private holdings where only a few have access to them and then it's top dollar no matter whether it's high or low fence. I do all my hunting DIY on public land for big game now out in Wyoming and have for some time. There is an awful lot of satisfaction knowing that I can take a good animal for just the cost of my license compared to guys that are paying $4K to $7K for a 5 day hunt for deer and elk just down the road 20 miles on a 100,000 acre ranch that doesn't really have any better animals, but they can keep people out unless they pay the outfitter that has it leased to take them. I really think we're both cut pretty much from the same mold and about the only thing we've disagreed on is the huge high fence ranches in Texas that you wouldn't hunt, but how often are two people going to agree with each other 100% of the time! I'm glad you don't have me on ignore any more, as I like the opportunity to chat with persons such as yourself that have the same basic ethics and passion that I do. Have a good holiday season Bro!!!
Yup i think we started off on the wrong foot.its ok to have diffrences its what keeps us from being robots.and i totaly agree with what you said about takeing pride in harvesting game the old fashion way without dishing out thousands of dollars for.take care and have yourself a great holiday season also.

Yep, thanks for the video Lunker! It does give a lot better look at that beautiful rack. I had no idea that Hanson shot another B&C buck on his property the following year after this top buck was taken. Does anybody remember anything about that one, as I'd not heard that until the NRA guy mentions it in this video?

I looked up his other Booner. 186 gross and 171 net. Less deductions on his 1993 deer.

The record will be shattered by a buck from Pennsylvania. A true underdog story.

***That would definitely be an underdog story, but you never know what's lurking out there in the bushes, LOL!

Skeeter7mm, how much shrinkage was there in the rack from the first green scoring to the final official scoring?
