I got this in an e-mail yesterday, anyone know anything about it?

let me try that again

My guess would be that this is an animal that has accidentally castrated itself on a fence or some other such obstactle. These animals never shed their antlers and they grow them in the strange form you see here. They are not really scorable and neither B&C nor P&Y will accept them to my knowledge. That said, they are neat looking and I would take one if given the chance!

Best,

Kinda looks like the slim jim guy

there was something about it on the boone and crockett web site.

A lot of people are mistakingly refering to this deer as the Albia Buck killed this year in Iowa but it is not. The only thing I know of this deer is that it was killed by the kid on the right and apparently the kid has muscular dystrophy and is in a wheel chair. Congrats to the lucky kid.

The Albia Buck was killed by a 15 yr old kid in Iowa on a youth muzzleloader hunt this year and will be the largest whitetail ever harvested by a hunter. Green scores put it at 323" and change.

Neat buck who cares about if B@C would score it.

Maybe those are just LA designer Antlers, courtesy of some of the Hollywood Animal Rights Activists?

Actually the deer is not shot, it was found this way passed out in the parking lot, next to its Porsche. Too much to drink along with cocaine at a recent Animal Rights convention.

Antler Stylist was the same guy who use to do Don King's hair.

REMINDS ME of the old "FAR SIDE" cartoon about the deer with the target on it's chest and the other deer saying "bummer of a birthmark, Hal".

Walk around with something like that on your head and you are just drawing WAAAAYYYYYYY too much attention to yourself.

NEVER MIND ALL THAT.... WHATS HE TASTE LIKE???

Can some one post a picture i cant find it

Here's information I got from my brother in WY on this deer. He received it from a fellow teacher.

Whitetail was killed somewhere near Minot ND.

Shot by a 15 year old kid with a muzzleloader Monday September 29 and
not recovered until the next day. Game & Fish were involved. They were informed of
the deer's existence and the harvesting of it. They were taken to the
harvest site. Filming of the shot did not happen due
to forgetting to load tape into the camera. There are numerous trail cam
pics this year and last I am told. Randy McPherren and Dale Ream did the
green score at 322 4/8. It would seem that the buck was only 3 1/2 years old
when the first pics were taken and the Lindberg sheds were found. The deer
was harvested right in the area he had always been. The "Grandfathers" farm
just outside town. He may have only grown one antler last year. I have held a
shed antler found right there that seems to be from him.
This deer will be the highest scoring hunter taken deer yet known.

NOTE:
This deer was just taken by the boy on the right. The
boy has muscular dystrophy and is in a wheelchair, yet he managed to
shoot the buck all by himself. This buck has one base coming out of
the head that is 16 inches around. About 2 inches up it splits into
2 beams and the deer's C-1 measurements are just shy of 10. The deer
carried the mass all the way to the end and had just over 68 inches
of mass. I believe the brow tines on this buck are roughly 14 and 11
inches and there is a 12 inch forked point coming forward from
between the brows. We found the sheds from this particular buck in
our preserve from last year and when he shed he also shed the entire
bone between both antlers as well. There is about a 1" piece of
extra bone from his skull on the inside of both sheds, which explains
this years unique rack.

I'm gonna be honest and say I think that the rack is butt-ugly!! I wonder what made them grow that way?

Is this the one you are all referring to ?


If so then no matter whether B&C or P&Y will put it in the books...I would certainly accept it in my sights ;> 45nut

Not sure if it is the same thing,but I enrolled in a moose biology course for hunters in the late 70s. They showed pictures of moose with bizarre antler formations caused by the moose castrating themselves on barb wire fences and the like.The native indians used to call these DEVIL MOOSE and would run from them in fear.I believe that it is called PERUQUE CONDITION (sp).Different from the deer pictured, these moose antlers looked a bit like coral.This was from growing in the late spring and summer and then freezing in the winter.Apparently they are not able to shed their antlers anymore. WONDERFUL TROPHY.

Looks like Bello from Barnum Bailey Circus! You'll only get that one if ya been there.
