I don’t know all the details and apologize if this was sent out on the site before. I received this e-mail form a fellow employee who works in Central Illinois. The buck was found in MI and the details of the find are below:
Buck found dead in Southern MI, near Clinton in the area of M-52
Buck was found dead by a lady while walking her dog. Called friend to come
and get it out of there before it would start stinking she did not even
notice whether it was a buck or doe. Just wanted it away from her yard.
Friend shows up and is blown away (obviously). Friend does the right thing
and calls other people and police officer to obtain the proper tag to possess
a picked up deer.
Cause of death is unknown, carcass was tore up pretty bad by animals.
Apparently it had been there a while. However, it was only a short distance
from the closest road.
This guy obviously knew what he had and took it to the Sheets brothers of
Saline one of them is a CBM scorer. Gross green scores are 253″-258″, that
will make this the new state record for Michigan . Boone and Crockett does
recognize picked up deer as records (see Michigan record/all time record).
The most amazing measurement I’ve heard so far is 27 1/2″ inside spread!
