    I would say he turned his head too fast… and the weight of his rack, broke his neck

    At least it was found before some critters ate it up. That buck was a true king.

    That deer is UNREAL….man, what would a guy do if he seen that running through the woods? Oh, probably shoot or sling an arrow.

    Thanks Brad…now I’ve got buck fever all over again! September is so close, yet so far away! That rack makes the deer look like a 2 1/2 year old…it has a long snout, but the body looks small to average from that angle and with that monstrous rack!

    Yeah, no doubt he was hunting that big boy for a long time.. Do you think it was a wolf or coyote kill Coppertop?

    Sorry, that was uncalled for.

    saw pix of this buck on another site.

    a couple of bird hunters found it in a crp field and coyotes had already ate too much of it to find any arrow or slug wound.

    the landowner’s nephew – the guy in the first pic – had trail cam pix of it last year, too, but had never seen it while hunting.

    apparently, more info is coming on the monster.
