11x12 FREAK BUCK

[WAPITIHUNTER]

Hey everybody! I just got a call from my cousin who was hunting over near Banks lake. Evidently he shot a buck without testicles. It has a small rack......1x2 or something of the sort and it still had all the velvet. He said it has something like 4.5 inch bases with 11 points on one side and 12 on the other. The real kicker is that he said it is a giant body wise. 300+ lbs.

I will try and get some pictures up as soon as I can.

As Eastmans Journal would refer to as a cactus buck. A buddy of mine and I saw one that was killed at Swanson Lakes several years ago that was a forked horn with a 30" back beam and still in velvet. I have a pic of it on Kodak paper but don't have a digital pic of it. It was impressive. Someone left it after they shot it thinking it was a legal buck till they got to it. They left it overnight and my friend found it the next day and the coyotes had stripped it down to a bare skeleton but its eyes weren't even shrivelled when he found it. He turned the head into the ranch manager and have seen it seen it in the papers since then as a accidentally killed buck with no retrieval.

I've got a w/t rack with 11 on one side and 12 on the other. I shot it when I was 14. I'll post pictures when I get the chance.

Here are the pictures of the freak buck. My cousin shot him at 200 yards at a full run. He said he has never seen a buck run that fast. His hunting buddy jumped him out of a rocky crevice real close to some winter wheat. Some other hunters had come and gone and he held tight. He didn't jump up until James was 20 yards from him.

Classic Cactus Buck.  Pretty rare condition.  They typically never shed velvet. Would love to see that buck in 5 years.

Yeah it is a very freaky looking buck. If I was to shoot that I think it would haunt me in my dreams... Glad someone had the nuts to shoot him.. Good Job
