anyone heard of big buck taken in east SK?

The tape will tell... I had an experience this fall with a guy around bragging about his 170+ whitetail. I'd never heard of a 4 point going that big before. Not to say it can't happen, but less likely. I taped it out at 145. Still a respectable buck, but just goes to show that there are a lot of people who don't know how the scoring system works.

On the other hand, I do know of a big non typical whitetail taken this fall. Easily over 220, but it hasn't been officially scored yet. It was taken in archery and is still covered in velvet. I've not seen it yet in person, but the pictures are impressive.

Yeah but doesn't it have a clause somewhere in the official score book that states you're allowed add 25 point if it's after midnight and you are drinking beer!

I agree. The tines on the Hansen buck are almost double the length of those on this deer and that makes a lot of difference in inches!! It will be nice to get a semi-unofficial score on this deer though!! I would have taken a pop at this one in any case! Great deer!!
 
It wasn't shot during a legal season so it can't be considered for Boone & Crockett from what I've been told. Also by the looks of the pic his main beams won't be long enough to not have a deduction on the inside spread.

If it was shot legally, it would still qualify for B&C, regardless of when it was shot. There are other deer taken by First Nations, under their hunting rights, entered in B&C.

Regardless, it's a big buck, but there are literally dozens of other racks I've seen which come closer to looking like a world record contender. That deer won't top 185 net, IMO.
 
Bearkilr I'm with you on the score for sure. This deer was shot with a .22 cal which is not a legal caliber for big game in Sask. Because it's not legal in Sask it will not qualify for the books regardless.

Doesn't make a difference what cal he used, it's legal for him I take it seeing as he's native, so it was taken legally.
