We recently received this story via e-mail and have yet to confirm it. If it is the real deal it’s a heck of a story. In any case, it’s one heck of a buck.

This kid was coming from the woods after hunting the morning on his Grandpas farm. I believe Jennings County Indiana. As he was walking back to the house he sees this Monster buck fighting with a concrete statue. He walks up to it and shoots but hits it in the leg, the deer runs about 50 yds away and stops. I guess he decided that he was going to go back and whip this concrete deers butt. He turns around and takes a dead run at the statue crashing in to it, the deer knocks himself out and the statue falls on his head pinning him down. The kid knocks another arrow and shoots the deer, in the picture it looks like twice.

Anyway as you can see by the pics he killed the deer and supposedly this deer green scored around 230 inches. If that is correct and they allow it as a bow kill this will be the new state record for archery. The current record is 221.

According to a story published in the Saskatoon Star Phoenix, Saskatchewan outfitters are sick of non-resident hunters from other Canadian provinces trespassing without permission. The outfitters are asking lawmakers to extend the rules that force non-Canadians to hunt with an outfitter to also include non-residents from other Canadian provinces.

Here’s a link to the story:

With bucks like this e-mailed monster, it’s easy to see the attraction of the province.

A word to the wise: If you poach a whitetail, don't brag about it in the local newspaper.

Chris James, of Horton, Mich., shot a 24-point buck on Oct. 25, 2007. Problem was, he didn't buy a license until after retrieving the animal the next morning.

This news story is making it's way around the internet. The real question is: What was the woman doing with a deer on a leash?

Steve Nelson, of Hector Min., e-mailed this neat picture of a buck in his lawn. Looks like Steve has a sportsman's paradise out his back door!

With a 5 to 3 vote, the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission has legalized the use of a magnifying riflescope during the December muzzleloader deer season. The decision came after the Board of Commissioners listened to public input on the issue during its meeting on January 17 in Lincoln.

According to a Nebraska Game and Parks official, the meeting was well represented by muzzleloading hunters. Some were there to support the regulation enforced up until now, which prohibited the use of a magnifying riflescope during the late muzzleloader deer season. Others were there to demand change, claiming that the open sights or non-magnifying "Red Dot" or 1x scope that had been legal were inadequate for precise shot placement.
