Remember the big Mississippi 8 point posted a while back?
 

I posted some info. and a picture of a guys deer that hunts about 2 miles from my property early in the year. At the time, it was thought to be one of the largest "8 points" taken in Mississippi.

Well the official MS. scoring is in, and he made the record books, not as an 8 point, but a 13 point.

This deer grossed 176 2/8 and netted a score of 156. Dang shame for the deducts, because it truly takes away from a great deer. The B & C scoring system takes away to much. I would love to have this buck on my wall!!!

There was a lot of commotion over this deer and was scored many different ways. One scorer had it at 165. Anyway, the point is, B & C scoring does not do justice to the kill.

Here's a pic...



and here is the original pic than ran in the paper and was circulating via the internet....



The pic was totally deceiving, as you can see. But still a great deer!

Poop on them stupid deductions. It grew it it should be scored. How would them guys like to have deductions subtracted from their bone cause it aint perfect

We sure that's the same deer? I mean, I see the little stickers on the bases but where's the split brow tines, where's the sticker on the right G-2? I realize different angles look different but the distance from the right brow tine to G-2 in the "after the kill" shot looks longer than the wall shot. It should be the other way around since the wall shot is facing that way.

I dunno, maybe it is but I wouldn't bet on it.

It's the same deer. What brought that up anyway? If you doubt what I am posting, then send me an email, and I'll give you specifics.

To explain simply, it's a totally different angle, and you can't see all the kickers in the bottom pic. As if I need to explain...........[:@]

that is a whole big giant load of bull---- those two are not the same deer

look at all the rack and compare those are not the same

I would not doubt the post. It is the same deer. the quality of pictures is different but the same deer is pictured. One is a studio pic, after a mount for goodness sakes.
You can tell by the color markings on the crown, forehead and around the eyes for that matter...

You calling me a liar? And the Mississippi Wildlife Game and Fish liars as well?

Cause if you are a betting man, I can arrange the proof, with the guy that killed the deer. Care to make a very large wager?

lol you guys are as funny as hell.

same deer,no doubt. theres a dark spot above the base on the right side on both deer. i have mixed feelings on the deductions. part of me thinks that deer should be given every inch and not have any deducted, but then again, when measuring a typical, we're picking out the abnormalities. the abnormal racks are for the non typical books. I dont understand the reasoning on the Zaft buck though. Pope and Young ruled the one point non typical and its very clear that it is a non typ point, but Alberta lists it as the score before it was deducted down to the 170 ish score it was deducted too..
