Where did this photo come from??? A magazine or found it online???
Fantastic buck allright if its the real deal!

I know a fellow who has several B&C wt's that he has taken over years... He has yet to have them officially measured..... Just doesn't care and maybe does not want to bring attention to the area he hunts...

This is the 3rd or fourth forum I've seen this on. The story is apparently some guy went over to the old timers house to see a "big" deer the guy had shot in his hay day. So he took his camera went over took some pics and posted it on facebook. For me photoshop is responsible for some incredible pics, this could be real I'm no expert but till it comes public I'm a sceptic. I hope it's real though. It would be nice to have both WT & standing Mulie records come from AB.
:cheers:
 
Clever response

If this story is true, B&C will want to X-ray the head, as it's a head mount. If the owner doesn't allow it, I'd be very suspicious. I don't give "Rye and Coke garage scores" done by amateurs much credit.
Hopefully it's a true story and real deer.

Won't work.

They are not allowed to train them to come in to the rattle of a paper feed sack on the Alberta side.

This topic has been discussed on Alberta Outdoorsman Forum too... I had previously posted there

My boss has a sketch drawing of a buck that looks VERY similar to that one. My boss's friend did the drawing years ago and the story as I understand it was that it was a road kill buck. The net score indicated on the sketch was 216. I will look again when I am back in the office.

Then I posted the following yesterday...

So, the buck in the sketch looks to me to be the same buck in the picture, but I didn't quite get the story right. It is not a road kill buck. My boss has a sketch done by the same artist of a huge big horn ram and that was the road kill.

I don't know if the artist had access to the buck or access to a picture, but the below sketch was done in 1988, well before internet. This leads me to think that this buck is the real deal.

Although the sketch has 216 typical shown, I don't know how that score was determined or if it is accurate. Sorry, no other details.

After my post, a few members there recognized the Artist's name, Mike Ukrainetz, and someone had a friend contact him.

just heard that the artist said it actually is a fake, a friend called him .

Oh well, it was a neat story while it lasted!
 
I'm going to call fake on this one...

If you were a taxidermist, and this head came to you to be mounted, you'd probably have said something. I doubt that this could have stayed a secret for 40 some years. If it is a real deer, it's pretty freaking huge - and I'm sure that there could be such a skull somewhere in the prairies that has never been mounted or measured this big.

Mike Ukrainetz I believe is a Alberta Outfitter who guides primairly for mule and whitetail deer..........met him once at a convention, a really nice guy and a good outfittler.
