Rumor has it that i have video of the deer the gov tag was going after today.

Manny15 you are wrong yet again. You have to remember that this happened in UT. That buck is already a whore. Everyone has pics of it by now.

The buck is already posted on a couple forums. Looks like it has a busted back fork. Talk about some mass though!

Right now there are hundreds of utards with a picture of that buck on their phone sitting underneath the covers rubbing one out to that buck

what a awesome deer he had just over 46in of mass and is 34.5 wide great buck

This buck looks and sounds a lot like the one a member posted about not too long ago. Said he showed it to the boys, looking to get the $10K finders fee, but was told it would not score enough. Well now, maybe that wasn't the same buck, maybe it was...

Be real nice o pick up a $10k finders fee, eh? If i couldn't be the one to shoot a monster like that, i'd be happy to be the one to find it or point it out! 10k goes a long way to a having comfortable winter!

Would like to see a better pic if someone could be so kind!

PS; younghunter, why be such a jerk? grow up!

ya that was the buck, when we showed him some trail cam pics he wasnt interested, but we sent him the video we got of him this year and that changed his mind.
He decided not to worry about the score and go for mass and character. which this buck has.

"How come the photo is cropped?"

Can't let you see the head otherwise you'd know it is actually an elk.

..........ok everyone settle down it was called SARCASM...

I read something about this on another site last night. The buck took a spill after getting shot which caused it to break the back "crown" on one side. They said they had found the pieces, if i remember correctly, they wanted to "fix" the rack before taking or letting out any other pic's. The author of what i read was talking like they would have it fixed and we might get better shots of this toad buck today. Hope so.

This is one heck of a buck! I watched some video of him last week!
He had the opportunity to shoot many bucks that scored more, but wanted the uniqueness of this buck, and he is unique.

Hey huntin4life did he come through with the 10k finders fee?

Cool! So you have a valid claim for services rendered? I think we all do this kinda stuff for free and love doing it, BUT, when this kinda money is offered plain as it was right here on this site and in these uncertain times, i know i'd take it!! Congrats on finding that hog buck!!

LAST EDITED ON Dec-05-08 AT 03:01PM (MST)[p]Here's the full pic. I fianlly got it to upload. I upsized it and lightened it up some.

Hell of a buck no matter how you look at it. Who cares what he scores, and who cares what he paid. If it's not the biggest in the state, why is everyone worried about it??? Just means the "big one" will be out there next year for someone else to kill.
Congrats Troy and all those involved!
