Huge Wyoming Buck Found Dead

Back in November of 2007 there was a tremendous mule deer that was found dead. Some people are claiming it was a wolf kill. It does look like it was a predator kill, but I am not jumping to that conclusion until I can get confirmation and I haven’t been able to get word yet from Wyoming Fish and Game.

However, let’s take a look at this huge buck. Fish and Game took the head and because of the size of the antlers ended up getting it scored by SCI. His right side is definitely the strongest with a 26-inch main beam and 20 6/8-inch G2. This buck has a beautiful 209 6/8 typical frame. Add the almost 27-inches of abnormal points and you have a trophy mule deer that scores 236 5/8 SCI. The deductions would put him close to the 230 net non-typical mark which would be an all-time record book buck for Boone & Crockett. What a buck.
