KirkV Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 OK here is a confirmed story by a friend of mine. A guy is hunting 80 acres he owns by park ground for a bruiser buck he has been after a couple of years. He is shotgun hunting and see's it coming down the trail, he pumps 3 shots at the giant and it never breaks a walk. It walks down the field edge to the road where it is promptly smacked by a car and killed. Heres the good part, the buck field dresses at 315 pounds, he has hooves as big as a cow, he has 22 points, and has a 36.5 inch inside spread. Thats right 36.5 inside! It had traffic stopped to a traffic jam as people were stopping to see it, my buddy had the tape measure that meased the spread. Now for the great part....... the hunter wrote a check to the guy that hit the deer for.....................................$5000.00 to get his trophy back. Can you belive that it played out like that? I will try to get some pictures from someone and get it posted up. Kirk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruttinbuc Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 That's nuts! Expensive roadkill to say the least. The guy must have set his sights on this buck and was going to get it at all costs.....Should have put the money in target practice if indeed he didn't fatally wound the deer..

KirkV Posted November 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 I have tried to get ahold of anyone who may have a picture of this deer and to no avail, I know 3 shots in a deer should put him down and I agree with those who think this is bull. But I am normally not one to tell stories, maybe I should have kept my mouth closed on this one until I had pictures lol. Sorry guys Kirk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what it's like to get excited about something and want to share it without seeing pictures and believing someone's word. It's just hard for outsiders, that don't know that person, to hear a story like that and not have anything to back it up. Now, go find some pictures!

redkneck Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Kirk's always been a straight shooter (I think) but man that is some story! I don't know what would be wilder, me seeing a deer like that, or me actually writing a $5K check........ (can you say "bounce" boys and girls?) hahaha....

Full_Drawn Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 hmm??? id have to see this beast in person or atleast a photo to believe that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUNTINGMAN Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Sounds like one heck of a deer for sure,can't wait to see pics of the beast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Dont think Kirk would pull a fast on us here..but until we got pics...... I'll file this one away under "Rompala" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 I have absolutely no reason to doubt Kirk however wild this story is, but that is one crazy story and maybe your buddy stretched things maybe just a little. Hope you can get some pics for us. I do agree with Mike on the guy needing some target practice though if this is an accurate account of how it went, was he shooting slugs or buckshot? Any word on where he claimed to have hit the deer with any of the shots that it never broke its stride? Was it wounded badly enough it would have died had the car not hit it?

stevebeilgard Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 yep. kirk is a straight shooter and i in no way meant he's making anything up. i don't think he'd do that. i do, think, however that there may be some "stretching" done to this story to imbellish it, by others. i certainly did not mean to impune kirk in any way, and i hope no offence was taken. if it is actually a true account, and it may be, it would certainly be a weird one.

KirkV Posted December 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 No problem Steve and trust me I told you just how it was told to me. I have not been able to find out anything from anyone.... so it is either tight lipped or embellished. Hope to hear something later sorry guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92xj Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 For the record, I was no where in my responses going against Kirk's character. He's straight up and - believe everything he says. I was only questioning the story told to him. Keep us posted on this. Also, its 240 or so Vegas time and I am just sitting down at a black jack table, sorry for the grammar problems. Kirk, nowhere was I questioning your character so please don't think that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
