I have a good picture of the buck just don't know how to post it. It was a legit kill no pen deer or anything of the like. Possible 200 inch buck.

The Hartley Buck was killed on border of Cass/Miami County. It was in the logansport paper. The picture in the paper does not do it justice. I have a great picture of it and it is quite impressive.
As usual someone has to assume it was taken high fence. No one gets the benefit of the doubt anymore.
The G2-3's on the right could be pushing 13-14 inches and impressive G4. The left side is shorter but still impressive and G4 is short. It has matching kickers off G2's
If not 200 inch it will be close.
By the way, it was shot with lever action 44 or 45. the guy kicked it up on a fence row and shot it.
congrats to Mr. Hartley but I dont think he knows what he shot.

I knew the name sounded real familiar for some reason. I did see the deer in the Logansport Pharos Tribune last week. It has 19 points i believe. Paper said he scared the deer walking through the property. A relative was in my uncles gun store in town and had a nice picture of it and told him he actually was shooting at a different deer and missed and then this one stepped out. Whatever the case, it is a nice deer. I don't think the online version of the paper had the article or else i'd post the link.

Here is the picture Mr. Williams I'm sure there are going to be alot of stories about this one ( heard something similar) I will let Mr. Hartley tell the story as I assume it will be in some magazine. I know for a fact that couple of hunters have been hunting this buck for a couple of years. They have trail cams and video etc... By the way, I'm a scorer for the HRB. I was in a taxidermy shop green scoring a deer for a friend when a gentlemen walk in with a rack to get mounted. He asked if i could score one for him that a 17 y.o kid from Cicero shot. It grossed 180 4/8 : mainframe 10 with only 16 1/2 spread. It was super heavy!!!! You may hear about that one as well. Hartley Buck No disrespect, i hope he has better pics!! This a classic example of what not to do in a picture ( bloody hands, tongue hanging out, back of a truck etc.....)

That is the same picture that I have. I went to get some better pictures but he had already taken the deer to the taxidermist.

That is an awesome deer.
I like just about all photos of hunters with their deer, as long as the animal is not being demeaned or degraded. I especially like pictures taken in the woods when the deer is first found, because that brings back the memory of the woods, weather, etc.
This is a picture of a proud hunter with an awesome animal. I have no issue with it. I'd rather see this man, bloody hands and all, pose with this deer than any TV personality.
A lot has been said in recent years about how we should or should not take a photo, because some non-hunter or anti might get the wrong idea. It's probably not a popular viewpoint, but I could care less. If it makes you feel better to remove your deer's tongue, wash off the blood, tuck its front legs under its body and turn it to the precise angle that displays the rack the best, that's great. Don't expect everybody else to feel the same though.
As for magazine articles, whatever this guy decides is cool. If it were me, if they wanted any more from me than a picture and aparagraph, I'd tell them all to get lost. I wouldn't even let them score it. I might score it myself to get an idea of the net score and that's it. Not sure why I feel so negatively toward the "public-relations" side of hunting, but that's the way it is.

Mr Oldhoyt,
Sorry for including the comments about the pic, I should have not included: my fault. Everyone has opinions about how to take pics ours just happen not to agree. Lets not get on soapbox about pics etc.. the post is about Mr. Hartley's buck.
We can start a different post about that if one is needed
again, its my fault for including the comment about the pic. I apologize if the comment offends anyone.

Bonehunter - no offense taken at all.
I have taken my share of tailgate pictures, but I don't do that anymore. I'd rather have photos from the woods.
I was only trying to point out that there are many hunters out there that don't concern theselves with what others may feel about their deer or their pictures.

That is a whopper buck for sure. One that everyone dreams about having in their sights..
The kickers off the G2s are something else.
Thanks for posting the picture..
I had heard of a youngster killing a huge buck and he really didn't realize what he had done, but dad did... not sure if that is the same deer or not..
