300 inch muzzy buck out of Oregon

Found this on another site:


Lucky hunter takes a 300 inch cactus buck in Oregon with his muzzleloader!

 A friend of mine from Oregon called a said this buck unofficially scores 301 gross.  What a pig and congrats to the lucky hunter.  It could be the second largest buck ever killed with a muzzleloader.   Arnold Sandoval’s is the largest that I know of.  It was harvested in Nevada.  I believe it scored around 304 gross and was 35 inches wide.

  is right, somebody must have been feeding that thing creatine powder instead of  deer cocaine or salt. The Medusa buck!

I say photo cropped...One, that deer is not a cactus buck. A cactus bucks antlers will look like 2 cactus growing from his head. Not branched, and why is it just now being posted if that deer was killed around August,or early September with the velvet still on the antlers..Plus it looks like it has been mounted, so I would put it from at least last year at the earliest..

hunterman...you're not correct on either point you made. cactus bucks grow all sorts of crazy stuff on their heads and they never shed their velvet. that deer could be in full velvet in january if it was a cactus buck.

Whatever it is, it's ugly!  And I feel sorry for the guy who shot it...

[LongTatLaw]

I dont know anything about this buck...but...

its not mounted...u can see the eye lids bulging from his hand pressure...just a cape with skull still inside...

Lots of bucks with jacked up genetics (good or bad) dont shed velvet...

same thing happens with Does with horns!

if that is real...its a tremendous buck!

[Hunterman]

Well jackalope I'm just speaking from what I've seen.. The antlers looked like cactus, and had no velvet on them.. Butthen I must admitt that I don't know everything on deer. After all, I've only killed a few

WOOOOOOOOW Now there be some rackage

Heres another..

no disrespect intended, hunterman. you've likely killed a lot more deer than me...just saying that what you said about cactus bucks is not correct. the pics yelp posted show what cactus bucks can look like. always in velvet. no testosterone production because of no balls...no testosterone, no shedding is the way i understand it.
