Whitewater Gaint!!!

take a looksie at this beast buck. it’s on the front page of this weeks outdoor news.

i don’t no about any one else, but i sure as heck would have never believed a buck like this lived in Whitewater WMA. i always thought that there were only 4 deer in the hole park .

here’s the captions that goes with the photo…..

TROUT VALLEY GIANT. Opening day of the firearms deer season in the Whitewater WMA produced a 15-point buck for Mario Morales (not pictured) and hunting partner, Antonio Dominguez (above), of Minneapolis. The massive antlers had a 30-inch inside spread, 11-inch brow tines, and the main beams measured out to 291/2 inches. No green score had been taken, but it’s sure to be one of the biggest taken in the state this year. Photo by Eric Meyer

THATS ONE WIDE RACK………

A LOT OF BIG BUCKS IN WHITEWATER JAKE. THIS ONE LOOKS LIKE IT WILL GROSS ABOUT 206 INCHES, AND LOOKS LIKE IT WOULD SCORE AS A TYPICAL. THIS BUCK WILL BE IN SOME MAJOR MAGAZINES GUARANTEED.

The question I have is why would the guy who shot this deer not what his picture taken with it?

Looks like it would definitely be scored as a typical rack, the only major deductions I see are the G1’s and G2’s, and only see a few small nontypical points which are also subtracted from the typical gross score. 30 inch inside sure makes up for the obvious deductions. It would score quite high but think over 200 would be a stretch, but would be very close. Am sure it has been green scored by now, anyone hear the number?? A score can not be offical til it has dried for the mandatory 60 days then measured. Jack.

I’ve always heard the same thing about whitewater as Riggy…I’ve always heard big bucks an whitewater in the same sentence…..

the only reason that i was suprised that such a buck could live in Whitewater was because of the UNBELIEVABLE amount of hunting pressure it gets. we drove through there one year on opening day of the doe season….there were trucks every 100yds. when you looked up in the hills you could see blaze orange spots all over the place. it is a huge place, but if those deer don’t get into the park or another closed area they’re going to be in big trouble.

The deer rack is at my taxidermist that I use. They did a quick score, and it ran up to 208 (typical). This is not an official score, but he does score my deer, so I would give it atleast 208, he doesn’t stretch it.

I went to look at the rack and he had to have the owner take it away, because everyone kept coming in to check it out and he couldn’t get any work done.

Hey Jake; as for that comment you made, if that isn’t a legitimate statement, I would defer from making comments like that. People could be offended. Just a word of advice……

JAKE,
THE MN RECORD FOR A TYPICAL I THINK IS THE “BREEN” BUCK THAT SCORES AROUND 203 INCHES. IF THE INITIAL GREEN SCORE IS ACCURATE AND SOME SHRINKAGE AFTER 60 DAYS, I THINK IT HAS A GREAT SHOT.

The Minnesota state record typical buck is the John Breen buck. It was shot in Funkley Minnesota in November 1918. This ten pointer netted 202″ and held the world record until 1964 when it was bested by the famous Jordan buck.
