Right. Im concerned more with the P&Y record book. I think it would give Johnson's buck a run. Hard to factor the sticker deductions on Decker's buck. Mel's buck had the same frame but was super clean,

Scott/IL

After deductions I can't see it taking over the #1 B&C spot.

For P&Y I don't know. I have been fortunate enough to know Mel Johnson most of my life, so for his sake I want to say no, but that is one heck of a buck. It seems like every year there is a buck that is shot that is rumored to break it, but after deductions always falls up short.

Regardless of score though that think would make me fall out of my stand.

After deduction's I don't think it will net over 200". I really don't. I won't buy that these deer are 3 1/2 either.

Milo's was a gun kill, but if I recall, he pursuedthis buck for over a week before he finally killed it.It's not like he was just sitting somewhere that he never hunted and thedeer just popped up in front of him.

Mad props to the guy who killed the other buck, but I would take the Hanson buck.

I don't understand how it could be a lucky shot if he aimed at the deer.. and killed it. I have respect for both bucks regardless of what they were shot with.

Hansen's buck is symetrical, Decker's is not. Hanson keeps the title.

My buddy hunted last week at buffalo county outfitters (won the trip WTU) He and his guide who was filming that buck that we have all watchedwere talking. His guide said that buck will never get killed, it had been missed 3 times previously and once with a muzzleloader at 70 yards. This doesn't have much to do with the comparison just an interesting anecdote. It does lay claim that the buck must be over 3.5 years old if it has been missed several seasons in a row, in buffalo county I don't think there are too many people that would shoot at a 1.5 year old deer.

But yall no where Milos buck was shot......>Saskatchewan canada!!!!and i think no one will ever beat milos buck, people have came close but never beet it. and this buck was shot with a bow and there for its Pope And Young and milos was shot with a rifle so that would make it Boone And Crocket so why is there even a comparison?? [:@]haha

He shot at the deer 3 or 4 times I think...and if I'm not mistaken the deer was running. That's why it was a lucky shot.

I agree. Definitely more respect the for the bowkill vs. the guy who got lucky on a deer drive. He and others shot at the deer many times on more than one occassion before killing it the 3rd time he hit it.
