292-Inch Nontypical Bagged in Nebraska
Posted by DDH Staff

Wesley O’Brien, of Lexington, Texas, killed what could be Nebraska’s next record whitetailed buck on November 14, 2009, the first day of that state’s 9-day firearm season. Preliminary measurements scored the 38-point rack at 292 7/8 gross and 281 net.
This massive and gnarly buck, taken in the southeast part of the state in Richardson County on private land, is quickly becoming one of the most talked about whitetails across the country. “It’s a remarkable deer,” said Tony Korth, a Nebraska Game and Parks Commission aquarium director and certified antler scorer.
Nebraska’s current state record for a nontypical firearm is 242 5/8, taken by Robert Snyder in 1961. O’Brien’s buck is expected to eclipse this deer and could potentially rival Nebraska’s state record buck for any weapon and the current world record for archery, Del Austin’s 1962 buck nicknamed “Old Mossy Horns” that scored 279 7/8.
O’Brien’s buck was shot with a .270 Weatherby Magnum a few minutes before the end of legal shooting time. He and two hunting partners, Brandon Rhodus of Lexington, Texas, and Dave Haveman of Louisville, Nebraska, were scouting for Sunday’s hunt when they saw the buck about 250 yards away.
O’Brien worked his way through a patch of timber to get a shot within 100 yards. The deer ran 30 yards and dropped. “I’m just lucky,” he said. “A good hunter doesn’t kill that deer. A lucky one does.”

Sheboygan Buck Not a World Record
Posted by DDH Staff
Claims that a buck shot near Sheboygan, Wis., is a world record are unfounded, says Deer & Deer Hunting Editor Dan Schmidt. Although impressive, the buck (which can be seen here) will not score 217 5/8 as asserted by the hunter who shot it.
"Although this Sheboygan Falls, Wis., buck is incredibly massive, we highly doubt it will live up to what early reports claim to be a 230-class nontypical and/or a 218-inch typical," Schmidt said.
"It appears to us that the buck’s rack will be subject to large deductions from at least one common base, possibly two, and major side-to-side differences.
"In any event, the hunter who shot this buck should not let those differences detract from taking such a fine whitetail."
Congratulations to him from the entire D&DH staff!

Posted by DDH Staff
The staff food plot produced another memorable moment when friend Jennifer Bates killed her very first buck with a bow. She made a perfect shot as the buck fed just 5 yards from her stand. Congratulations Jennifer!
