I saw this picture in a magazine and was wondering if any of you guys knew the story on this one.. It looks like a Mexico buck.. What a pig!!!

That's J.Y. Jones, if I'm not mistaken. Take a look at his book if you can find it and the story might be in there. It certainly could be a Mexico buck; the guy had enough money to complete the North American grand slam and could probably hunt muleys anywhere.

Pretty sure that's J.Y. Jones.

That pic looks like one out of an article he wrote for Big Game Adventures about a year ago. I'm pretty sure it was in Mexico. I think the story was taken out of his book as mentioned.

I have had more than one outfitter in Mexico show me that pic and claim it was on their ranch. I have a really good idea where it came from but can not be sure.

That deer is one of my all-time favorites, has a lot of everything!

Pretty sure that is J.Y.
He developed that red blotchy skin condition when hunting Elk in Canada.

That was the lead photo in an article he wrote for Petersen's Hunting about 100 years of the .30-06. But I don't have any info on the buck itself.

You'd think they'd a picked a better photo if it was in a magazine or book. What with the rash and all.
