Okay before some of you start seeing or hearing the rumors swirl by I'll break down what I know:
This deer was followed all year and the hunter has Trail Cam images of it, he also got a written statement from the landowner to protect his right to be there, he even contacted the local CO's and informed them he was after a world class whitetail and they would be called should a shot ever occur for recovery. He did that and the LE/CO's were present for the recovery which occurred Tuesday, shot happened Monday night. It was a hunt which was filmed.
There is a crummy photo swirling that the hunter and the director of The Break (the hunter is a crew member) is asking us to not share. The only way I know and 100% trust this to be legit is a friend (consider him a brother as far as trusting his word) is a hunter for The Break and he has relayed to me the story.
I am on the list of folks to be informed of and receive better photos so I can share on Small Acre Hunting and I'll be sure to pass them along here. I however will not post the crummy one they've not been happy has been leaked.
Thing is a GIANT and green scored just over 300 gross.
Dan (the hunter) is experiencing what I cannot imagine, the mud being thrown is crazy. I am happy I will never have to worry about this, makes killing a WORLD class whitetail nearly not a good thing in some respects.

Hey guys little update....the live pictures are all over facebook...if you have trouble finding it you can view it at my Page (Small Acre Hunting) or go directly to The Break's page as well.
Dan is facing a whirlwind of accusations and offerings. He's already had the local ATV place come and offer a ATV vehicle for the rest of the year and next if they can pose it in one of their's and use it....he politely passed.
The local DNR have copies of recovery footage or are going to, they were along for the entire recovery as well. From what I've learned from my friend from The Break, the second they got images of this deer Dan started taking EVERY precaution imaginable to solidify the kill being 100% fair chase...part of that was immediate communication with the state and local DNR offices and officers.
Dan's killed some awesome bucks already but obviously nothing like this, and he fully expects someone is going to offer stupid kind of money to the landowner and this season is most likely his last on that farm...sad but I am guessing it was worth it
Dan's got thick skin from what I've heard but if you are the praying kind, when you are up the tree say a quick one for our fellow hunter....he arrowed a DREAM buck and there is now a lot of negative bull he is dealing with when all he should be is nothing but happy and deal with nothing but good things.
Blessings guys, and keep an eye on Deer and Deer Hunting...they will have the story write up....but the footage to the last of my knowledge will be aired on The Break next year on TV.
Oh and also it rough green scored at around 303' and from what I've heard will wash out well below that Net wise.
