buckee Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Deer Hunters: Here are some early photos of a great deer taken during the youth hunt this year. This buck was shot at a property in Grant County. We saw a buck with 16 inch tines two years ago. It could have been him or a relative. Anyway, Grant County produces some great bucks every year. This buck green scores 203 Typical, NET, not gross. If so, this would place this buck in the top three typicals all time in Wisconsin, and that includes the great Jordan Buck at 207 that was world record for decades. These pictures were taken in front of the Cabela's store in Prairie du Chien. The hunter shown in the picture a 15 year old Williams boy from Millville, WI. The deer was shot between Millville and Woodman. The buck was shot with a rifle during the youth hunt in early October. This deer has 16 inch tines. The manager at Cabelas offered him $25,000 on the spot the day the pictures were taken. Cabela's offer included making a replica set of antlers that look identical to the originals and the hunter would be able to keep the cape. The boy and his father turned down that offer. The manager then called the Cabelas headquarters in Nebraska and immediately got permission to offer the boy $61,000 for the rack. He still said no. Writers and photographers from various deer magazines descended on Wisconsin to see the deer so I'm sure you will see more about this buck in the upcoming days.

Texan_Til_I_Die Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 I'm surprised it didn't go more. Looks bigger than 203 to me. (you don't hear that very often - it's usually the opposite) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sluggunner Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 SOLD!!! I would have taken the offer in a heartbeat, as long as I could have the replica antlers in my home and the photos that prove I took the buck I wouldn't care if the mount in my house had the actual antlers or just the replicas. In fact, I'd rather have the replicas at my house as I would be too worried that someone would break into my house and steal the real ones if I had them there. Then you would have nothing.

IF and I mean IF he were to get a world record or something he would have lost about 1 million dollars on that deal.... think about the endorsements and such too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

layin on the smackdown Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 That thing is an absolute TOAD!!! Congrats to the young man, and way to go dad for getting him out there. I'm with the others...I'd a kept the cape and replica and took the $61000. If i were already financially set, it might be a different story, but with that kind of scratch, i'd be thinking college for the kid, and paying off the mortgage for the family. Awesome buck for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
