Beautiful Utah Velvet Buck Taken? |
|
| There has been a huge typical mule deer taken on opening day of the Utah General Archery Season. Gary Wilson harvested this buck in northern Utah. I talked with Gary today and confirmed the score on the buck. There is some confusion about the score of this buck because a taxidermist scored this buck wrong and thought this buck would score 225 gross and 214 net typical! Because of this some rumors are going around that this could shatter the world's record. This is not true. The buck is a 4x5 point, 31-inches wide, and has been rough green scored at 203 4/8 gross and 196 2/8 net typical. There is an extra kicker point on the left side that will deduct this buck out of state record contention. We will have to wait the 60-day drying period to see just where this buck will fall in the record books. The state record for velvet typical mule deer in Utah is 199 7/8 net P&Y. |
