Heres a much better photo of the Wesley buck! It could challenge the NB state record (Mossy Horns) that has stood since 1962!!! There is also a buck from Iowa that is of the same class and has been green scored around the 280" mark!

Taken by a Texas hunter in Richardson county, NE. In the extreme southeast corner of the state. Happens to be where I grew up and was shot about 8 miles from my hometown. Taken just north of a little town called Verdon.
There are a lot of big deer down there but generally not seen where this guy was shot. Mostly corn and bean fields where he was hunting. There are creeks and small rivers through there and assume he was taken off of the Nemaha River. They pretty much farm it road to road.
Most of the bigger deer in that part of the state are taken along the Missouri River to the east and around Salem to the southwest. Definately an overlooked area for big deer. Most all private land and the outfitters have discovered it. Hard to find places to hunt that are not leased by outside interests now.
Keep an eye on this deer and story. I heard from a friend at home that this deer may have been taken across a fence line where the hunter did not have permission to hunt. There is a little controversy brewing currently. May turn out to be nothing, time will tell.
