Official Score is in For Record Ohio Amish Buck
December 14th, 2006 David King - King's Outdoor World
There is definitely a great buzz going around about the monster whitetail buck taken by an Amish hunter from Adams County, Ohio (See previous post). There have been a lot of rumors and false information circulating about this potential record deer. News of this buck being officially scored by both Boone and Crockett and Buckmasters has definitely put the rumors to rest. This free-ranging whitetail buck has recently been officially scored at 300 6/8 gross and 291 2/8 net non-typical. It also has a Buckmasters composite score of 305 4/8 (including inside spread of 25-inches).
This score puts it No. 2 all-time for the state of Ohio and the largest buck taken with a crossbow for Ohio (state record). Like most of you know, the Beatty buck is from Ohio and is the current world record archery buck and has a Pope & Young score of 294 0/8, taken in 2000. The John Schmucker “Amish Buck” is the No. 2 in the world for crossbow behind Jerry Bryant’s monster non-typical Illinois buck from 2001, which Boone and Crockett lists a score of 304 3/8. We featured Jerry’s awesome buck in our 2005 King’s Whitetail Deer Calendar.
If taking claim to probably the biggest non-typical for 2006, Adams County, Ohio is not stopping there. In addition, a great typical archery whitetail deer has also been taken from Adams County by Justin Metzner. Justin’s trophy archery buck has been green scored at 207 5/8 gross typical with an estimated net score around the 196 mark.
Whatever is going on in Ohio, keep it up!

The Buck is not an “Amish Deer” A Deer is not religious!
the Gentleman who shot the deer is Amish!
I think this should be corrected.

Ms. Rodgers: I have never personally discussed theology with any ungulate and have never met anyone who has.
“Amish Buck” is merely a lable given to this uncommon creature to shorten a headline and to catch one’s eye as well as stir curiosity. It caught yours, perhaps? It may have stirred your curiosity?

The buck is offically named “The Amish Lucky Buck”. It has been rescored for its offical B&C score and is 295 2/8 Net. I understand that this is now higher scoring than the Beatty Buck.
It is called the Amish Lucky Buck because John Schmucker,the hunter that shot the buck did not want to use his name in the name of the buck. This is his choice. The buck although wild and free ranging had access to Lucky Buck Mineral being fed in the area by 5 of the neighbors with in one mile of where he was harvested.
