It almost looks deformed. I bet there are a lot of trees tore up in his area.

I've got to believe that the buck hanging by his hocks has allowed blood and/or water to drain down into his neck bloating it.
I've seen a lot of big necked bucks, but never one that big.. Especially when you compare it to the body of the buck.
But, maybe there is a first time for everything..

So are we saying we should hang them right side up if we are going to hang them for days? I guess if you're skinning you would want head down but if you wanted to leave it up for days before you skin it because of no time or whatever does it need to be right side up?

I need to go back and look at what forum I saw that. I believe there were pics of it laying on ground with the hunter immediately after it was shot. The neck was the same.

There was a buck killed in Knox county over the Thanksgiving weekend that had a neck as big if not bigger.
The buck only weighed about 180-190lbs (body wasnt over long) but its neck was unbelievable big. Would have been a mid 150's 8 pointer but it had a broken G1.

My wife might shoot me...not the most flattering picture...but she shot this buck a couple years back and it's neck was very large. It measured 31" around about 4" below the ears and almost 34 at the base. Sorry, I don't have a pic showing the hump on the back of his neck. The measurements were taken over the hair...I don't know how big the one is in the video but hers is the largest I've seen in person.  |
