Michigan Booner
Well details are still coming out on this one but here's what I know:
This giant was taken during Michigan's rifle season in Luce County. That's located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, a big-woods mecca of deer hunting tradition that isn't really known for producing bucks of this caliber. But, then again, few areas of the country are "known" for producing Booners.
The buck is reported to score above 190 inches but it's not clear whether it will be scored as a typical or a non-typical.
Reportedly, there's a pretty comical tale behind this. The buck caught the hunter a bit off-guard while sitting in his hunting shack. It passed by close enough that he was too nervous to open the plexiglass windows and risk spooking the buck. So he fired right on through the plastic.
Well, as they'd say in the U.P.: Dat dere's a good un, eh?

Missouri Buck?
I got this one in my e-mail inbox twice yesterday. Both e-mails said the buck was shot in Missouri, and both mentioned the words "world record." I'm not sure about that, but it's some kind of big. If you know something, fill us in.

Antler Addiction
I think I may have a problem here. I spent the week of Nov. 15 bowhunting the great state of Iowa. I saw the type of rutting activity that, as a Michigan resident, I had only dreamed of. Upon returning home, I found that my hunting life had changed. Possibly forever.
And so four days after leaving Iowa, I was back in the truck heading West on a 9-hour drive for a two-day outing. Yeah, that's sick. But I simply couldn't help myself.
Once again, I had close encounters with great deer but simply couldn't close the deal. Now, I'm back home and I continue to find myself longing for the brushy draws of Iowa. I've even been scouring my calendar searching for a spare day or two in which I can steal off for another outing.
It's probably crazy to think that I can make yet another journey to Iowa. But I'm not sure I'll be able to keep myself away. Drawing a non-resident tag is no easy task. And right now I have one in my pocket. No sense letting it go to waste right?

An Indiana Monster
Clint Myers sent this photo in of a huge buck his father killed in Frankfort, Indiana. We're not sure about the official score of this monster, but he's all over 200! -Jake

Another Unreal Story
Here’s another cryptic deer story that came across my inbox but this one appears to be true. In suburban north Houston, this huge buck was killed by a motorist close to a golf course.
Unbeliveable!
Just goes to show that the big boys can lurk just about anywhere.

Another Young Gun finds success
I know that this is a whitetail forum but I had to brag on my buddy Kace Neskorik because last Saturday, he took his biggest deer to date - this nice desert mule deer from Cee Vee, Texas.
Congratulations, Kace!
