RE: Minnesota hits # 1 with velvet buck
Sorry Folks..no record here. It's a great deer, no refuting that. One anyone would be proud of. Only problem is the deer has a NON-TYPICAL score of 214. Sorry folks. You think I enjoy doing this?

RE: Minnesota hits # 1 with velvet buck
I checked the B&C website and it pictured this deer but never gave any particulars. Following that i went to the P&Y website and off course they only have a picture of the NT #1 but he is wearing no moss. Anybody have a copy of the P&Y records to see where this sucker falls in history....great deer.
Whiteraven it is all you do, so I will answer YES. To the question you already know the answer too. He also said velvet record not #1 overall...like james said read it all before you open your in the know can of worms. If you know the velvet #1 then please enlighten us all[8D]

RE: Minnesota hits # 1 with velvet buck
Ok, folks like try to clear up a few of these misconceptions that people have. First and foremost if the score is indeed 214 after initial measurements are confirmed the fact still remains it is a non-typical. The deer had 17 scorable points. Let's toss into the equation the fact that neither Boone & Crockett or the Pope & Young has a class for deer in velvet. Thirdly the velvet has to be removed before it is scaled officially. Fourthly, there is also a 60 day drying period. None of this takes away from the outstanding quality of this animal. Fifthly, although P&Y does NOT have a separate "class" for antlers with velvet, they accept them into the record books with velvet on. But it would not be considered any type of official world record from the P&Y club.

I don't want to make this a long debate, but here you go.

LARGEST VELVET BUCK. Jim Kostroski, of Rochester, arrowed this 17-point buck in Olmsted County on opening day of the 2003 archery season. Official scorer Dave Boland measured the antlers at 214 nontypical, making them the largest in-velvet antlers on record with the Pope and Young Club. The largest velvet buck prior to Kostroski's deer scored 196 3/8 and was taken in 2001 by Michael McFerrin in Texas. The current state record was killed in 1992 by Gary Martin in Todd County and scored 222 5/8.

Hey Trophyhuntr, you've used that picture in your posts so many times I'm surprised it isn't worn out yet.
