190" 8 pointer
« on: November 12, 2009, 09:03:38 AM »
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.

Kinda looks photoshopped to me? Where's backwoodsboy he could tell.
To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

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

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..
