MN on the map early...

Got confirmed word of a 235" buck shot in MN Saturday! No pictures yet that I'm aware of. I've seen some velvet trail cam pics of a monster posted back in July that was 220"+. Could very well be him. Anyone know anything? I'll post details as I get them.

There's a picture of a monster in the trail cam thread that looks like he could be that big.

WOW!!! Can't wait to see some pics of this beast

[sticknstring]

Thanks for the heads up huntnfish - wow!

[TruthWalleyes]

Excellent photo. Nice deer!

[walleyeking19]

WOW!! Now thats a buck! Any info on what part of the state it was shot in?

[Hoyt4]

Ok MN or WI I got e-mails saying WI

[matchset]

what's with the missing notch on the trail cam photo? was it eating something it wasn't supposed to be eating?

[archerystud]

UFFFF-DAHHHHH!!!

[96trigger]

It was shot in SEMN.

[slimngrizzly]

Thats a giant! I guess it was a 43 yard shot. It nets 227 1/8" (green obviously) and has 25 scoreable points!

[sticknstring]

The O'Konek Ripley buck scored 227 & change I believe. It'll be interesting to see how this one shakes out!

Just think if that buck actually grew some brows!

[Hoyt4]

Great photo. Better then the back of truck pictures. A lot of deer taken this weekend.

[Andrew Erickson]

unbelievable buck

Amazing buck wow!!! Congratulations on that trophy!! That's a outdoor news big buck contest winner foreshure. Was it fair chase? I'm curious also as to what is up with the first picture of it on trail cam

[certified jumbo]

what a monster. i agree, he's the outdoor news contest wrapped up!!

i too, am curious about the rip out of the pic by its mouth. the pic is post velvet, so recent.

The trailcam photo looks like a reflection off a computer screen. (photo of a photo)

[mrklean]

what a beast cant wait to hear more

[paceman]

Wow That is an amazing deer! 25 points! Holy dump!

why isn't there a real store on this kill?

all i read on here is story from this hunter to this hunter.

why doesn't the hunter that kill this buck come on here and share his

his side of the story?

i'm not trying to hate on this, i just want to know the truth.

congrats on the kill if it's true for 2012!

[96trigger]

It is true, there is more info about it in the trail cam photos thread under deer hunting. The guys name is given. I don't think the shooter is a poster on this forum, so getting him to give the story probably will not happen. However, It is a real deer from 2012, shot opening weekend, in SEMN. I completely trust the original poster of the pic that it is legitimate.

fiong. You have to understand, of the literally millions of hunters and fishermen out there, a very, very small percentage ever post or belong to FM.

A 43 yd. shot! Geez, he's a GOOD shot! Don't think I'd a been able to hold still enough to shoot that bull at 5 yards!

Sure is a beautiful non-typical. Nice symmetry, with so much extra tine.

[HooknHorns]

My guess that the hunter has sold the story to one of the magazines. If i shot that deer the first thing i would have done is tag it and call a photo pro also. Good job. I heard a story around se mn about a deer the same size. Dont know if its the same or not. Im glad to hear a good outcome instead of a poaching story like the past few.
