From another site....."You will not believe the story on this one. This kid was coming from the woods after hunting the morning on his Grandpas farm. I believe Jennings Co. Indiana. As he was walking back to the house he sees this Monster buck fighting with a concrete statue. He walks up to it and shoots but hits it in the leg, the deer runs about 50 yards away and stops. I guess he decided that he was going to go back and whip this concrete deer’s butt. He turns around andtakes a dead run at the statue crashing in to it, the deer knocks himself out and the statue falls on his head pinning him down. The kid nocks another arrow and shoots the deer, in the picture it looks like twice. Anyway as you can see by the pics he killed the deer and supposedly this deer green scored around 230". If that is correct and they allow it as a bow kill this will be the new state record for archery. Thecurrent record in P & Y is 221."

Sounds to wierd not to be true. If I was going to make up a story, I'd have made up a better one.

I posted that on here earlier shortly after it happened. That guy coaches ball for a friend of mines son and knows him very well. The story is pretty much legit form what I'm told. I have not heard anything lately about the score but will ask this weekend when I see the guy. Jennings County is correct... The original post is here but my picture deleted. It was only afterwards that I found out it was a friend of friend. huntingindiana.proboards52.com/index.cgi?board=deerhunting&action=display&thread=1195062624&page=1Woody, you're getting old  |

I saw this story earler and do believe it was made out to be true.

Gotta be true. Who would make that up and expect anyone to believe it? I'm wondering......would this be considered fair chase?

I'm wondering......would this be considered fair chase? Good question to debate I run it past my 14 year old daughter and she says no. I am inclined to lean the same way. Kinda like a deer trapped in deep snow I would not consider that fair chase either. But now you have to take into account the fact that he wounded the deer with the first shot, it was then his responsibility to go ahead and take him. I could not in all honesty try to enter him in a book but that decision is up to the hunter. Bob |

Eh; there was nothing illegal about what he did; beyond that the only person that matters about the ethics question is the boy who took the deer. As far as the record books, I'm getting to the point where I wouldn't enter one no matter how good the animal was. Everytime a big one is harvested the inquistion begins.

No, there was nothing illegal about it and I've had enough bad luck deer hunting to believe in taking full advantage of any good luck that accidentally trips over me. I was just wondering how the "officials" would view it.

I would have done the same thing. Too bad he didn't make a better first shot. Definitely wouldn't try to enter it in any record books, though. Not exactly the best story, he probably should have kept it to himself. Dumb luck.

I'd rather be "lucky" than good any day.

Not sure which officials you are talking about but most say if it is legal and not behind a fence (IOW - fair schase) a person can submit it. A couple organizations take "found animals".

My conscious wouldn't allow me to enter it in a record book. Being pinned under a piece of concrete would not meet my definition of fair chase.

My conscious wouldn't allow me to enter it in a record book. Being pinned under a piece of concrete would not meet my definition of fair chase. From what I heard the first time around, it was the first wounding shot that spooked the deer and caused it to get pinned. If that is the case, the only differences between this buck and one taken over a decoy, is the type of "decoy" and the location. The guy was fortunate enough to take a great deer, legally, I see no need to dissect the kill or otherwise lessen it. |
