western NY bowhunter Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 (edited) First of all, I just want to say congrats to the lucky hunter on taking a true buck of a lifetime! This buck was killed on 11/26 by a guy from my hometown here in Steuben County, NY. Unfortunately, his right side appeared to have been injured in velvet and his G3 tine was broken off, as well as half of the G4. Even though he was busted up badly, he still officially green scored @ 181 3/8 gross...150 1/8 net. His right side scores 93 3/8 (with an additional inch or so broken off of his G3): 13 4/8 G2, G3 & G4 over 10 inches, 22 3/8" outside spread.

western NY bowhunter Posted December 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 CONTINUED... Now, throw in this shed that my uncle's bro-in-law found while spreading manure on a cut cornfield back in March of 2010. This antler still has the wax ring and is last year's shed without question. I searched for the other side but had no luck in finding it. I scored it @ 58 5/8 with 2" or so broken off of the mainbeam. Based on this shed, I'm estimating that he went from a mid-130's to 140 class last year as a 3 year old to a 195+ typical (if unbroken) @ 4.5!!! This jump in growth amazes me, especially since we're talking about a NY deer here, not one from IA. Although this buck wasn't a result of any direct QDM efforts by the hunter or local landowners, it just goes to show what can happen when a deer with good nutrition and good genetics meets up with the age factor of the big buck equation. Little bucks will one day turn into big bucks if given the chance to grow up, even here in NY state... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western NY bowhunter Posted December 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 That is way cool. Congrats to the successful hunter. I love non typicals . Thanks for sharing that. Actually, his gross score of 181 3/8" is as a typical. He only has two abnormal points on his left side...a 4 4/8" fork on his G2 and a 1 5/8" sticker coming out of the burr.

3seasons Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Thats an awesome buck. congrats to the hunter. Did you notice that his right antler is way darker than his left which is white. Never seen a deer with oposite antler color like that, just adds to the character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western NY bowhunter Posted December 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 (edited) Did you notice that his right antler is way darker than his left which is white. Never seen a deer with oposite antler color like that, just adds to the character. Last year (on the shed) the tip of his mainbeam was dark colored and also kind of porous in texture. The beam was broken off just past where the darker coloration started. This year the entire right antler was this way. I don't know if it was some kind of velvet injury or what? What ever was going on here is the reason that the tines were weakened and broken off. There was no smooth/polished outer surface to the bone like on a normal antler. It almost seemed as if the whole thing had been burned/charred. I've never seen an antler that looked like this one's did.
