According to the B&C head honcho, that buck would be a non-typical.

Awesome buck!

I like the flash light for the stabilizer...!!!thats funny

Yes he will net P&Y as a typical. Net score has to be 125.

That's for pig or varmint killing.

yes sir, nice kill.

Another pic.

I don't know this but does the ranch have to be low fence?

Thanks guy for all the comments! Here's the story!

Last year this buck was a monster typical 8 that I had passed on early in the season, the later and later into the season it got, the more I regretted passing on him. The last weekend of the 2011 season he came back out and gave me a shot. I had him at 26 yards and let an arrow fly. He "jumped the string" and ducked under the arrow, but it still caught the top part of his back. I was sick, thinking I had blown my chance (little did I know this was a blessing in disguise). This year, on one of our trail cameras we got pictures that the buck indeed survived the wound, leaving him with a scar across his back from shoulder blade to shoulder blade and came back ~25 inches bigger as a 5x7! Needless to say, I had him marked and wasn't going to let him get away this year. Last weekend he stepped out onto a 60 acre field I was hunting and took what seemed like hours to get into range. I came to full draw on him 3 times before letting an arrow fly at 30 yards. This time it was a clean hit, piercing both lungs. The deer ran about 80 yards down into a pond where I recovered him. I couldn't be happier.

This is my first Pope & Young buck and biggest to date!

Awesome buck and he will easily net 125 but as far as getting him into PY books you can't have any electronic devise on your bow or arrow wether you used it or not. I just got through doing all the paperwork from a deer I got last year.

I know it's dumb, but I think that flashlight disqualifies him.


Awesome buck!

Congrats on an awesome buck!

Did it jump in the water? his hair looks like its wet

He's a dandy for sure.

High fence or Low fence?

low fence. His brother has shot one bigger with a rifle.

Speakin' of Flashlight for stabilizer and this deer is pictured at night! Not tryin' to stir it up but this deer was killed legally in the daylight right? Good lookin' deer anyway

It was for sure killed during daylight. I new that would bring up some questions. I have been hunting with this guys since I was in grade school.

P&Y easily

The deer was absolutely killed during legal daylight. In regards to the flashlight as a stabilizer, its sole purpose is to provide enough light to get in and out of the stand during low light situations.
