Colorado Email Rumor Buck
When I first received this a couple of weeks ago I didn’t really pay that much attention to it. Just another email going around with mis-informed information. I ended up getting it again later that same day and three more times the next day. Then, it started going around again and people here in the office were getting it forwarded to them with a different subject than what I had recieved. Interesting…..let’s see if we can clear this one up.
The photo that you see here is part of what has been going around in an email with two different subjects (maybe more). One claims it is the new #3 buck for Colorado. The other claims it is a buck that is 42-inches wide and a new world record. Wow, those are both pretty bold claims, and the buck definitely seems to be a spectacular mule deer.
The photos that have been going around are actually photos that were originally emailed around after the 2003 fall hunts. The buck is indeed a Colorado buck and it was taken in 2003 by John Grubich. The buck is not any kind of record, but is a very impressive deer. It measures 37 1/2-inches outside spread and scores 225 gross B&C. I am very familiar with this buck because we actually did a featured story on this deer in our Dec/Jan 2005 issue of Hunting Illustrated.
