Huge Typical

[eyebanger]

As was said before, citys can grow some big deer. Here is a video of the so called "Sioux Falls" buck. It is a non-typical, but it is still pretty darn huge. I think he made it through this hunting season, so he should be around next year.

im sure the guy who has the footage and those sheds is keeping his mouth shut, at least i would, it would be cool if thats one of those bucks that just keeps ppl talking and never gets shot, especially if its a metro deer that cant be hunted

I'm pretty sure he can, has, & will be hunted. The sheds have travelled to the boat show and there's a writeup in Outdoor News this week. The word is out. I'd have a hard time keeping it a secret too.

As would I, SnS... How would you not want to share this?

Unfortuneately, being a top of the heap world class buck is not only drawing the attention of us, but as odds will have it, more "shifty" people are also on the list of people learning about this.

Just look at some of the stories behind some of the deer on the Wall of Shame.... Amazing what lengths people will go to in order to get something they want......

Very sad, but very true.

Not trying to hijack the thread.....but regarding the idea of breaking off a tine to help your net score. Wouldn't it have to be considered an abnormal point to effect the net vs an extra normal point. Would the net score be the same if you had a normal right G5 at 3 and left G5 at 0 vs no G5s on the right or left. Just curious, not that I'm planning on shooting a deer that big or breaking any of the points!

[sticknstring]

Yes, you're correct. I replied incorrectly above. If it's a normal point, it's added in to the antler score but then subracted out in the difference column. Higher gross, 0 net change. If abnormal, it's subtracted as a deduction and would lower the net score.

In the case of this buck, I'm not sure what the classification of that point would be, it looks normal.
