BIG Deer out of Iowa - Brief summary as well



May be new world record whitetail non-typical.





Shot by a 15 year old kid with a muzzleloader Monday September 29 and not recovered until the next day. DNR WERE involved. They were informed of the deer's existence and the harvesting of it. They were taken to the harvest site. All appears to be kosher. Filming of the shot did not happen due to forgetting to load tape into the camera. There are numerous trail cam pics this year and last I am told. Randy McPherren and Dale Ream did the green score at 322 4/8. It would seem that the buck was only 3 1/2 years old when the first pics were taken and the Lindberg sheds were found. The deer was harvested right in the area he had always been. The "Grandfathers"



farm just outside town. He may have only grown one antler last year. I have held a shed antler found right there that seems to be from him. This deer will be the highest scoring hunter taken deer yet known. AWESOME and great provenance.



This deer was just taken by the boy on the right. The boy has muscular dystrophy and is in a wheelchair, yet he managed to shoot the buck all by himself. This buck has one base coming out of the head that is 16 inches round. About 2 inches up it splits into 2 beams and the deer's C-1 measurements are just shy of 10. The deer carried the mass all the way to the end and had just over 68 inches of mass. I believe the brow tines on this buck are roughly 14 and 11 inches and there is a



12 inch forked point coming forward from between the brows.



We found the sheds from this particular buck in our preserve from last year and when he shed he also shed the entire bone between both antlers as well.



There is about a 1" piece of extra bone from his skull on the inside of both sheds, which explains this years unique rack.

WOW! It looks like a tree stump!

If anybody deserved to shoot such a record it is the kid in the picture.

What would cause this? Genetics? Freakazoid? I know there are feeds out there that claim to drasticly increase rack size.

I have a friend who is a game biologist at University of Missouri. I'll email him the photo and ask for an educated guess.

I read an article a couple years ago that stated that non-typical racks such as this often happen due to testosterone levels in the deer. Frequently it happens when a deer's testes are damaged (the example given was a deer not quite clearing a fence.) The resulting change in testosterone causes the "freakish" growth.

hmmmm...interesting....I wonder if I walk into a 3ft tall fence post if it'll make my hair grow back??!!...NAAWWW!!!

I'll just live with it as is!!
 
We were at our cabin Sat. and thought we heard it a boulder rolling down the hill toward us. Then all of a sudden a 8 or 10 point buck came through the thicket and jumped the fence right in front of us! He was coming FULL SPEED right at us about 15 yards away, then he turned and jumped another barb wire fence to get away from us. Needles to say, he must of not seen the top strand or he was a poor jumper, because he raked almost all the hair off his belly (probally privates to). There must of been a handfull of hair on the ground and fence. Maybe he will have a drop tine or something next year?? That was the scariest and most amazing thing I ever seen. Oh yeah dogs were chasin' him, they were not too far behind, they almost got some lead.
 
Mac, Their ain't nothing wrong with our hairstyle. Were just FOLICLY CHALLENGED KB
 
I've noticed lately that pictures taken of me with the new fangled cameras (digital) always make me look bald!



My old Kodak I used to use back 20 years or so ago never cause this illusion.



So much for new technology.

Did you see the Beatty buck shot here in Xenia a couple of years ago..it was a 39 point non-typical. The last few years has really produced some real "moose" here in Ohio and other states as well. Good conservation and close checks on populations help also...weeds the bad ones out.
