Has anyone seen or heard about that big buck taken in Jennings County? The story is a real wild one how it was taken As of now I just want to hear what other people are hearing. I was told this green scored at 230. This was emailed to me today.

I think i may have read something about the story, if this is the same deer. Wild is an understatement.

I hear the guy was coming back from the woods and seen this buck tangling with the concrete deer. The story goes on that the buck made a second running charge and the statue fell over on the bucks head pinning him thus offering a bow shot...
I have 4 different pictures. I didn't if this was old news or what. I'm not even sure how valid the pictures are. It is indeed a big Whitetail.

Maybe he used the other arrows on the concrete deer.

Believe he shot the real deer from 60 yards and hit it in the leg while it was in the yard sparring with the fake and then the concrete deer fell on him and it took him two or three more arrows to kill the giant. I would do the same thing if one that big was around my target in the back yard.

That concrete deer doesn't look big enough to hold a deer down, unless maybe it caught his rack or something. There does look to be a wound on the leg, and what I presume to be he kill shot looks like it entered from the bottom, which is consistent with the deer being on the ground when it was hit.
What I can't get over is how small the deer is, while still sporting a huge crown. Indiana seems to have a lot of mature bucks that never approach the 200 lb mark. Then you see a huge bodied beast that looks to be 250+. Maybe it's because most of the deer that were reintroduced into were from Wisconsin, while some were from North Carolina, Michigan and Pennsylvania?

It's called "good ground". Good genetics and good soil.

It looks to have been a fairly young buck, 3.5 yo or less. The vast majority of the bucks that qualify for the state record book or even B&C are 3.5 or less, not fully mature deer.

Where did you find that information? I had no idea the majority of big whitetails killed were not mature animals....... I cant even imagine a 2.5 or a 3.5 year old 170" whitetail. Interesting information.

3.5 not fully mature? You guys crack me up. Who cares how old a deer is?

You know, every year I see some P&Y bucks that people get that look like 2 1/2 year olds body-wise!! The racks are usually slender, with a "smooth" look, and not much "trash." If that deer is 3 1/2, and no bigger than that, It probably never will be one of those bull-like monsters, do you think? Adult bucks can keep gaining wieght past 3 1/2 0f course, but I don't see them gaining 75-80 lbs after they reach 3 1/2. I think some deer, like people, just top out at much bigger sizes than others.

I am just trying to remember all the good bucks I have seen .... I would Imagine that a 170" 3.5 year old buck is entirely possible but had no idea that it was the norm. And to think that the vast majority of B&C bucks are that age or even younger is just mind boggling.

You wouldn't know it, unless you've been in an area that produces that kind of bucks and seen it. The places with 3 year old bucks that field dress over 200 pounds and rarely make 125" are not "good ground". I'll go for the deer that don't look like cows, but have big racks.
