The monster mule deer taken by 14-year old Kyle Lopez in Colorado during the 2007 season has been officially scored. A conservative green score put the buck at just over 303 net. However, good news for the Lopez family as Roger Selner has scored the buck after the 60-day drying period at an amazing 311 2/8 gross and 306 2/8 net B&C. This buck has 26 points on the right and 17 points on the left. This buck will be invited to the next Boone & Crockett panel scoring, but that won’t take place until 2010.
Kyle’s Buck is now the new #2 non-typical buck for Colorado and #13 in the world. That is a incredible!
Read the story of Kyle’s buck in the new issue of Hunting Illustrated Magazine out on newsstands January 29th!
Come see the buck in person. The Lopez buck will be in the King’s Outdoor World booth at the Hunting and Conservation Expo in Salt Lake City February 6-9th. Here is some more info about the Hunting Expo.
Where does this compare against the all-time greats from Colorado?
