I was a measurer at the Bass Pro Event last weekend, and I had the honour of officially measuring Big Bux! Quite the deer!

He just missed the B&C book as a non-typical, but he was so scary big I could see myself getting weak in the knees if I'd had him in front of me during the season. If I remember correctly he was taken with a crossbow - quite the feat.

Some of the other guys got to measure the sheds. I wonder if anyone tried to extrapolate his scores in previous years. It would be an interesting exercise (are you listening OMW?).

We had many deer that qualified for the B&C Awards Period book, and at least a few that made the all-time book. Two Non-typicals at 206+ and 197+ just topped Big Bux and another near qualifier. I saw 2 170+ typicals, as well as a 167+ buck that I thought had it made until I totalled the score.

A Nova Scotia moose just missed B&C, but had so many points that were just under the B&C standard that if only some of them qualified he'd have scored over 200.

A palmated buck was so odd looking, that when I first saw it, I thought someone had brought in a fallow deer for us to score.

The Beasley boys were kept busy running between our event and the Sportsman's Show, but when they all got together they found the time to sign autographs for some of the next generation hunters who were there. Kudos guys!

taking him with a sling shot would have been a feat.... shooting a tame deer is nothing to be proud of ... thanks for the update.. just wish you had a name to go with it ..

Thanks for the report Rick! Would love to some pictures as well. A lot of really great deer. Big Bux was bigger a few years ago, would love to learn what he scored in 2007 or 2008.

I find this post a bit disrespectful. Please tell me if you are hunting your chunk of property and an absolute monster buck materializes at just 20 yards from your tree. The last thing you should be thinking is. Gee I wonder if that buck is tame!! Congrats to the hunter. Great buck and what a history of pix by the photographer. Who I understand is not the shooter correct??

like usual, i get busy measuring and listening to the stories that i never get pics. I did take the odd one, including the 206 with the owners permission of course but it was on my phone and they suck when uploaded.
The number of racks was not huge, but the quality was awesome this year

lol. yeah I don't always take pics when I should and you do get swamped when your measuring. It is nice when you get to hold beautiful racks and talk to the hunters that took them. Some sweet bucks coming in.

i dont go to the other proporty owners and beg him to let me in to shoot the buck.. this guy begged the owner to let him in and hunt the deer. knowing that the animal was not afraid of humans . if you find it disrespectful i am sorry . but those are my personal feelings on this .. I find it very sad that some one can do that and consider it a trophy but heck that is there personal felling and who am i to tell him how to feel

that 206 had it all, double drop tines, matching double eye guards, dark color and to top it off it was the way in which it was dragged out. Eli, your one lucky man :allright:

There was a story in the last issue of OMW, and I believe there will be a follow up from what I thought I overheard from the other end of our set-up

The buck was not tame! One fellow has been photographing him for something like 7 years. Its been estimated he was between 9 1/2 and 11 1/2 years old - the shooter didn't have him aged.

The photographer owned land near the buck's core and decided not to hunt him. He also got several of his neighbours to do the same. However, other people in the area had been hunting him all along, including the shooter. He managed to luck-in this year.

If asking permission to hunt on someone's land is "begging", I guess I'm a beggar too.

This deer would often dissappear from the farms in his core area during the rut while pursuing does - he was definitely a hunted buck.

Here's a picture of him taken shortly before he was shot.

How can you be a measurer and not take pictures? Thats what preserving a heritage and history is all about, photographic evidence/proof. Ive been measuring at shows for over 20 years, I always take pics of the large and the unusual and the pretty, thats why my albumns have over 4000 pictures.

Alright, Im just giving you guff. But pictures would be nice....

I WANT TO SEE PICTURES OF THE PALMATTED BUCK!!!!
