Huge Typical

[matchset]

got this from a buddy. picked up in the "metro" too.

[Bear55]

Maybe I'm missing something really basic here, but can anyone tell me why that buck shed its velvet and is in full hard antler mode at that point in summer?

Steve the video said Aug 31st which is perfect for the velvet peeling time of year, late Aug to early Sept.

Match Set.: What's the deal with that antler??????? NICE!

[klecker]

If you pause the video at 1:27 and compare it to the pictures with the sheds, I don’t think it's the same deer. The right side looks different.

[CANOPY SAM]

klecker, you might have something there. There appears to be a little up-turn at the end of the right side main beam with a 2-3 inch split at the end (in the vid). Looks like it may have been broken off before the shed, or perhaps it is a different deer.

Either way, that's quite a deer, and an amazing shed find. I'd never put those things down!

[mrklean]

Same deer, i think you are seeing the left side of the rack there looks like another little point there

[Deitz Dittrich]

I got to see sheds off the deer in the original post this last weekend.. I want to say that the sheds scored over 170 without the spread pretty easy.. Got to talk to the person who shot the vid and found the sheds as well.. Awesome deer for sure.

[Muskie456]

doesn't 91 3/8 and 89 5/8 = 181 and not 175

[Muskie456]

Oh, that is net score. oops

[sticknstring]

Any word on whether these sheds will be brought to the Deer Classic or PY banquet?

Looks like part of the crab claw had broke off.

You guys are right, he broke a tine off. Look at the video again at that 1:27-1:45 and you can see it had another tine. You can also see the "bump" in the still photo on his right side where the tine was. Thats ok cause it helped his net score. awsome awsome deer

Interesting thought. Lets say you have a giant that would be a record book NET score if you broke off a 3" tine, I bet guys have done it. And who wouldn't do it if it means the largest typical of all time. This guy could be that deer next year with that crabclaw tine attached. But I suppose by the time you know the score many pics and eyballs have already been on the rack.

[HandGunner]

OMG he did break it... or maybe the deer broke it... who knoes... either way if it meant i have to break off a single tine just to make a world record i wouldnt... im fine being second place or third or whatever but breaking off tines and whatnot is just the equivelant of cheating and plus it ruins the beauty of the animal we all grown to love

Exactly. Lets not start casting accusations here.

[honker23]

would breaking a 3" tine help your net?

[sticknstring]

Yeah if there wasn't a matching tine on the opposite antler. 3" extra of side-to-side deducts. 184" gross + spread. It'll be interesting what he puts on next year.

[Billy_Burbout]

Holy smokes! When i said "he" i ment the deer...not the guy that found the sheds! The deer broke it off iam sure somehow while the rack was still on his head. Dont even know how you could even fake a broke tine.

[Quackaddict9]

Definitley the same deer. Broke part of the crab claw and we need more angles of the the buck's left side in a angle shot to see the browtine sticker points and I bleieve it will truly show its the same buck.

Nice deer nonetheless.

[hockeybc69]

Think there is gonna be any "outsiders" following this deer next year???

Eeeks. World class deer and in the public eye now.

That thing is beyond imagination.

[eyebanger]

As was said before, citys can grow some big deer. Here is a video of the so called "Sioux Falls" buck. It is a non-typical, but it is still pretty darn huge. I think he made it through this hunting season, so he should be around next year.

[mrklean]

im sure the guy who has the footage and those sheds is keeping his mouth shut, at least i would, it would be cool if thats one of those bucks that just keeps ppl talking and never gets shot, especially if its a metro deer that cant be hunted

[sticknstring]

I'm pretty sure he can, has, & will be hunted. The sheds have travelled to the boat show and there's a writeup in Outdoor News this week. The word is out. I'd have a hard time keeping it a secret too.

[hockeybc69]

As would I, SnS... How would you not want to share this?

Unfortuneately, being a top of the heap world class buck is not only drawing the attention of us, but as odds will have it, more "shifty" people are also on the list of people learning about this.

Just look at some of the stories behind some of the deer on the Wall of Shame.... Amazing what lengths people will go to in order to get something they want......

[sticknstring]

Very sad, but very true.

[honker23]

Not trying to hijack the thread.....but regarding the idea of breaking off a tine to help your net score. Wouldn't it have to be considered an abnormal point to effect the net vs an extra normal point. Would the net score be the same if you had a normal right G5 at 3 and left G5 at 0 vs no G5s on the right or left. Just curious, not that I'm planning on shooting a deer that big or breaking any of the points!

[sticknstring]

Yes, you're correct. I replied incorrectly above. If it's a normal point, it's added in to the antler score but then subracted out in the difference column. Higher gross, 0 net change. If abnormal, it's subtracted as a deduction and would lower the net score.

In the case of this buck, I'm not sure what the classification of that point would be, it looks normal.

[eyeguy 54]

Dandy animal.

[critterman]

nice, did the same person that video'd it find the sheds?
