Big Hoof Buck?

Forget about Bigfoot. We have Bighoof. This is one of the craziest things I have seen in a while. Check out the hooves on this buck. It was hit by a truck in Wisconsin. The DNR said that high protein, specifically corn was the cause of the abnormal feet. Has anyone seen anything like this before?

New World Record Muzzleloader Mule Deer?

Can you believe it? Our very own Hunting Illustrated South of the Border editor just knocked down a monster buck with his muzzleloader. Arnold Sandoval got lucky and drew the mule deer Super Tag for Nevada for 2006. The Super Tag allows him to hunt during all seasons statewide as long as he hunts with the appropriate weapon for that unit and season. He was planning on holding out until late November for the rut to kick in. However, he decided to go out last week with his muzzleloader. He came across a huge buck. It is a 25×27 point, 38-inches wide and green scores 304 gross! This buck still has the velvet intact and is considered a cactus buck. We will have to wait and see how this affects the eligibility for Boone & Crockett. The current world record muzzleloader non-typical mule deer was taken by Lloyd Barton in 1993 in southern Utah and scores 293 6/8 net B&C.

Stay tuned for more….and make sure you are current on your subscription to Hunting Illustrated to see awesome pics and a great story about this buck.

Congratulations Arnold and the guys at Bull Ridge Guide Service.
