True....knew it was coming!!!

I also know who "Bucks n Ducks" is here...just saying, he is not the "scorer"

I will throw this out there if anyone cares, I pheasant hunt at roush lake and when I was checking in on sunday, I heard the property manager on the phone with someone and he told them that pheasant hunters pushed a 26 pointer to a guy hunting on ( he mentioned the name of the farm but I will not) when they started hunting on Saturday morning. So yes a public land deer shot off on private ground. Oh and by the way congrats to the lucky hunter.

DNA Typo, I was not the scorer! Nor does any post i have say that I was...

Good grief, I would be more nervous to score it than to shoot it !

Let's just see how this plays out gents,,,and give the hunter and his deer the respect they deserve.

Amen +1...weedy

There is enough "Debbie doubter's" already...they work like a "CLOCK"...lol

Anybody seen my flashlights?
Im going hunting.......,

Another site.lol.. you have fun with that!

Awesome deer.. congrats

From B&C....


"We've received the video on what we're now calling the "Crab" buck (it will become obvious why once you see the video).

We will be reviewing the scoring procedure and should be posting the video soon (we're waiting on permission). Please check back."

Congrats to the hunter!!

One thing for sure is that this deer proves that the majority of Internet hunters have no clue how to score a deer. Saw on Facebook one guy said "maybe 150's". Lol

This is a top-down view...

I see the "CRAB" Buck

Hunter's Name is Tim Beck and a Statement released from Boone and Crockett..........

Beck Buck Comes in as #2 NT Hunter-taken Whitetail.

"The scoring procedure has been reviewed and after tine classification was verified this deer scores an amazing 305 7/8. Three tines originally scored as normal were deemed abnormal. On t...his particular head it took away 2/8 in deductions but when the H4 circumference measurements were taken with the correct classification the circumferences dropped a few inches resulting in a lower net score than the original posted 308 5/8. The final tally on this deer is 222 4/8 gross typical frame 93 7/8 in abnormals, and the reason that this buck’s final score ranks it as the largest non typical whitetail taken in the last decade and the second largest in hunter taken in history is that it only has 10 4/8 of deductions left to right."

WOW! Congrats to the hunter!

now comes the "panel score"....if he disputes the score!!!!

+1....


Congrats on a NEW #1 NON-TYPICAL WHITETAIL DEER for INDIANA!!!!

Another look at Tim Beck's enormous Indiana whitetail. It's currently the #4 all time non-typical and the #2 hunter taken non-typical whitetail at an impressive 305-7/8.

Congratulations Tim!

That smile says it all Congrats. Priceless.

Is this the Tim Beck that runs the Indiana NASP program? One heck of a buck.Congrats

One heck of a buck!!! Nice job. Indiana is gonna be well defined now. Wouldn't surprise me to be a close one killed in Indiana again in next ten years. Congrats again and cherish all the moments ahead!

Interesting read.....

Seems as though B/C thinks Indiana is doing something right? HMM?

I guess I have a bit of a hard time assessing what Indiana is doing in regard to B/C thinking it's right. Since the implementation of the one buck rule, it seems like Indiana has experienced more and more bucks with higher scores. (you notice I didn't use the word trophy because a score in itself doesn't mean a trophy, to me) I do think hunter attitude change and leasing are the main issues, both of which I don't really think the DNR has had much to do with it. Indiana has always had more nutrition then a deer herd twice this size could eat and the production of high scoring bucks is pretty much a matter of age. I don't believe there really is a need to reduce the herd size or the number of does for an increased production of higher scoring bucks.
