Strut10 Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 Anybody heard the story on this one?? Got this in an e-mail: "This is a 33 point buck shot near Mingo which is east of Des Moines on the Skunk River North of I-80. This guy was bragging about the deer, so the DNR decided to take a look. Turns out the guy is a convicted felon and shot the deer with a shotgun. Felons can not have shot guns. The DNR took the gun, the deer & arrested the guy. It is said to be the largest rack in the US. Even larger than the Albia buck." Doesn't look bigger than the Albia or Beatty bucks, either one, to me. But it sure is a hawg!! ATTENTION: TO ALL OF YOU THAT WILL INEVITABLY BE READING THIS POST AND TOPIC.......YOU NEED TO READ THE ENTIRE TOPIC BEFORE POSTING A COMMENT.......TO MANY PEOPLE ARE JUMPING ON THE BANDWAGON HERE AND DON'T KNOW THE COMPLETE TRUTH.......THIS IS HOW HORRIBLE RUMORS ARE NOT ONLY STARTED BUT ALSO KEEP UP MOMENTUM. Now Strut10 was simply asking if this e-mail he received had any truth to it and if anybody had heard about this, but so many of you immediatley replied to it assuming it was truth, without even reading the others posts to know that there is a totally different story to this tremendous deer.......do your own research people, or reply with some factual evidence. Otherwise keep your comments to the deer and it's tremendous hardware. "Tree Walker" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest adamo Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 Re: MASSIVE Iowa buck...(pic) Was shot by Mingo, IA... is not larger than the Albia buck - scores under 250". This is the first I've heard about any of the rest of the story... I believe the hunter entered the buck in the Iowa Deer Classic - so I'm sure it was taken 100% legally and is still in the hands of the hunter. Chalk that story up to internet/email rumors... happens everytime someone shoots one over 220" it seems like. I hate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
