Johhny King Buck Finally to See Boone and Crockett Panel

The Johnny King Buck made it's way to the Bowhunting.com booth during the 2012 Wisconsin Deer & Turkey Expo.  Here you can clearly see the famous G2 and G3 tines that have kept this deer from being the largest typical of all time.

In what a saga that rivals that of many Hollywood break ups, it appears that the Johnny King buck is finally going to get it's due.  In a story that's been in development for over 6 years, it looks like this buck will officially make the record books soon.

I have never heard of this buck or seen it before.  But my first thought when I opened up the link was that's a cool looking non-typical point.  I'm not sure if that is a typical or not.  But its and awesome buck.

New to me also! Great buck

Typical all the way, the mains have a ton of mass, you can't penalize it for that.

Well this buck has stirred up quite a controversy.    King sounds like he got mad and took his toys home and Jay Fish had monetary incentives driving his interests.  I think a buck like that should definately get its due.  I believe it all had to do with an inline point and whether or not it should be counted as a typical or non-typical.   I don't quite understand how B & C  is reversing its decision of a previously panel  scored buck.  I think if it's a true typical then let it be the new record and bump the Milo Hanson buck  If not, don't re-write the rule books and jepoardize B & C's longstanding record keeping system to fit a particular set of antlers.

P.S.  That's a helluva buck that I'd give me firstborn, eyeteeth and left nut to have hanging on my wall no matter where he fits in to the record book

this guy does a pretty good job of explaining why he thinks it is a typical

[huntnnw]

its not up to anyone who can score it one way or the other..for it to be non typ it has to have a certain % of abnormal points to qualify in the non typ category.

that tine is not a seperate tine..its a abnormal and shares a common base with the g2..if this buck is allowed then the Alberta giant that guy arrowed a few years ago should also be allowed thats what took him out of the world record archery typical

Wayne Zaft and I would have to agree if this buck makes it the Zaft buck looks pretty similar

[huntnnw]

Thats the buck and that buck looks more like a clean typical to me than the King buck
