190" 8 pointer

[haugenna]

Here is the text from the email as it was forwarded to me.  There is another story going around about a possible poaching incident with this buck.  Could be pure speculation.  I am sure there is more to come.

PERSON 1:
I am hearing rumors that there was a large 8 pointer shot down by Bell Creek that could be potentially a world record deer?  Any news to this?   

PERSON 2:
Here's a picture of the horns with my father holding them.  Green scores at 192" gross and 189" net.  Shot with a bow last weekend.   No one knows for sure, but I haven't found and 8 pt. That has scored this high.  It was taken less than a mile from my house where we hunt.  What a monster.  Take care and good luck this season.

PERSON 3:
Check out this buck.  It was shot south of Cannon Falls last weekend, it's a potential world record 8 pointer (see email below).  The guy in the picture is Bob Banks he did not shoot the buck he owns and hunts some property nearby.  The picture was taken at Corcoran's in Hampton.  My father in-law went down there to look at it, he said the rack weighs about 18 lbs and has a 33" inside spread.  The buck is just a freak, check out where he is holding the rack, keep in mind that this is only an 8 pointer, that's the crazy thing.

[Buckmark]

Kinda looks photoshopped to me? Where's backwoodsboy he could tell.

[buckmaster_wa]

Wow that thing is enormous.

[haugenna]

My brother saw it in person.  Its not photoshopped.

[Austrian Hunter]

It's a monster buck for sure, world record or not! Congrats to the lucky hunter!!!!!!!!

[blacktailer]

Sweeeeet Fancy Moses!!! Now that is one cool looking buck.

[jackelope]

it's a huge buck, but a world record for what?
lots of 190" whitetails have been killed.

I wonder the same thing. Maybe record 8 point(weird calling a 3 point an 8 point  )

Holy mass batman.......

[spur_ride]

Is bell creek even in Wa?

[Buckmark]

No bell creek is in Minnesota.
The deer appears to have been poached according to reports.
Possibly shot during bow season with a rifle, which has not been confirmend.
But the DNR has confiscated the rack, carcass and meat from the "hunter" and also found 2 other deer in his possesion that were not tagged and taken before this deer was taken, which would make this deer poached even if it was killed with a bow.
So sad that this crap happens.....

I only said it looks photochopped from the way the skull looks around the edges.

It was/is truly a nice deer, too bad it was taken this way..

[jmx369]

Incredible.

[Galpster]

Monster 4 point. I am from Montana and everyone always counts the eye guards, even B&C so at least its a 4 point. Monster and another story to make us hunters look bad!!

Who knows what condition the two deer were in that he had in his possession.  Butchered and wrapped in paper, hanging in the shed.  How long do you have to keep the possession tag?  After it is eaten? 

You are spot on with the story.  That is the story the taxidermist told my brother and that is what he told me.

hey

if it was killed in Minnesotta...its a damn 8pt

you fellas call it whatever you want in WA...  East of the Dakotas...   each point counts

each year in Wisconsin and Iowa they kill WT over 205 inches...

not close to a world record unless someone keeps records for the best scoring true 8pt??

WOW

[jackelope]

where that buck was killed, a 4 point is a 2x2.
thats an 8 pointer.

[Hornseeker]

I got that email today too...that buck is unbelievable! Give him a typ 5 point rack and he's 205-210 TYP!!!!!!

[B.G.hunter]

here is the quote from booneandcrockett.org

Update: This deer has been confiscated by the Minnesota DNR and there have been 13 counts filed in conjunction with an illegal take

This buck is supposedly a Minnesota archery kill. It is reported to net 189 green. Boone and Crockett Records do contain 8 point bucks that qualify, but not too many. This could well be one of the largest.

 

[carpsniperg2]

bad deal reat deer

[eastside boy]

holy crap!!!  Gotta go this turd outa my shorts now!!!

[TheHunt]

Looks like a 3X3 with eye guards... 

I love to listen to the East coasters... I shot a 10 pointer...

I even heard someone count the points on an elk and say they shot a 12 pointer. 

LOL

[LongTatLaw]

Thehunt...   everyone on the east wonders why the hell Westerners cant find an animal that has more than 6 pts....lol

ps- now that theres a wild huntable elk population in Kentucky...bet your ass its a 10 or 12 pt elk

[shanevg]

Easterners like inflating anything they can, number of points, size, length, etc... 

[jackelope]

that deer's rack has 8 points on it. not sure how you can call that inflating anything.

p.s. i too, am an easterner. killed a few 5,6,7 and 8 pointers in my life...even a 3 pointer or 2.

And the East will not take a shot over 30 yards.  They consider anything longer unethical...  LOL

[ribka]

I think photo shopped. Had wife take a look too. She is very experienced with photoshop. She thinks it was edited too

[h2ofowlr]

A dandy buck.  I wish I would see some like that around here.

[LongTatLaw]

30 yard bow shot??   i doubt that but on WT's I still consider a 40 yard shot max ethically... had too many react to shots even with quick quiet bows from 22 feet up...

ps- I got some size u can inflate
