Is there a photo of this deer anyhere? I don't recall seeing it anywhere.. DNR can issue a permit or keep the rack themselves as they see fit. The Missouri DNR kept one a buunch years back that is the #1 Non-typical. Found on the railroad tracks outside St. Louis wasnt it? |

Urban legends (or in this case "rural legends") are truly fascinating. It is amazing how fast these things spread and evolve (or devolve) along the way. It just so happens that I am in the middle of teaching a weeklong seminar to our 8th graders on the subject of folklore. We have been looking at some famous urban legends. I may have to use some of the ones that revolve around big deer that come up every year. They are perfect examples of this kind of folklore. Interesting stuff! How do you tell when something is folklore or just straight BS? Is there a clear line there? |

A lie can circle the globe three times before the truth gets out the door. |

I heard the same story except that it was found floating on the banks of the Ohio River.... Yeah.. that's what I thought .. a Kentucky deer..  and with OBR being in effect there for so long deer this size are very common  |

hi all. just joined this site after seeing this thread. i happen to know the guy that found the buck you are asking about. you already know how the stories get altered in the telling . the truth is....LOL!..... as i heard it ....the buck was over-estimated. it actually ended up around 180 inches . it was found along the ohio river under the new NATCHER BRIDGE on hwy 231 ,just east of ROCKPORT IN. he contacted a co and recieved a permit for possessing the rack. i hav'ent been able to get a pic yet. it was to be mounted for free,but i'm not sure about it going on tour ? i know he was offered several thousand dollars for it and turned it down. deer this big are commonly seen in this area.an AEP power plant is here and they own alot of ground here allowing bucks to really grow big ! |

Thanks for the update and WELCOME to Hunting-Indiana.com.
AEP is a "sanctuary". Only employees can bow hunt there.. That makes for some big bucks.
