Im still going crazy here trying to find out info on this buck that was supposed to be taken in wayne illinois. They said a guy named dean ashton shot it and that it beats the hanson buck. I really want to find a pic or any info anyone can get please.
not saying that info is false... because I dont know, but if it beat Milo's buck you wouldn't "still" be looking for it... It would be everywhere. I think this is the second or third "new world record" i have heard of this year alone haha
Dean did shoot a big deer but I don't think it was that big. There was a huge typical 12 in the 180-190 range in an area he hunts from what I heard. I know a guy that hunts a bordering property to him that saw a monster that they were both hunting. If that is the spot it isn't Wayne but it is close to the town of Wayne. I know if it was in the town of Wayne that there are some monsters there as well. If you go through the pictures on this link there is a picture of a 12 that Dean killed, not sure if it is the buck in question. If it is Milo is safe. http://www.tazarchery.com/CONTEST_PICTURES.php
I will find out if it was Wayne County due to that I shotgun hunt a buddies property there. My buddy lives down there and would know for sure. Here are my Wayne County Deer!
Hey race thanks. The guys at cabelas where telling me about it but they said it was a 14 pointer obviously they were wrong. No doubt that is still a nice deer.
He might have shot another. I know someone that got a text from him with the buck and I think it is the one in the Album that I posted but he has some good ground. The Cabela's over there also stirs some tall talk from time to time and scores inflate
milo hansen buck was harvested in saskatawan canada back in 93' I believe, it net scores around 213" typical 6x6. current all categorical world record typical whitetail...
mel johnsons peoria county illinois buck is still holding strong from 1965, as the typical world record with bow netting 204 3/8"
There was also the Shotgun Killed Brian Damery 230" Gross Typical B&C buck taken in Illinois that year, but thanks to NET is dropped to 200"
heck yeah, that was a mega giant, this is where the pope and young score will skrew ya, but a buck at that caliber, I would still be tickled pink!
