Beautiful deer.

He will shrink a bit from there, but just to put that net score in perspective, the current all time US record is 206 1/8, from over 100 yrs ago. 2 other bucks are potentially being panel scored to confirm net scores in the 205 to 207 range. So you most definitely killed the Mexican national record, I'd guess. People debate and hate the B&C book, but your buck is the ideal rack they set out to reward.

What are those other 2 bucks?

Congrats Baker, very cool!

When i hear a certain IL whitetail industry guy saying hes probably the only one to ever shoot 2 bucks a year with a combined gross score over 400", I always think "I wonder what #'s Baker could share from the low fence Mexico property".

So the Huff buck became a bit of a controversy. He sold the rack to a collector, who had the rack scored again, that time 3" higher. Rumors were that he said he wouldn't have it panel scored to confirm that new 211" net typical score. Not sure where any of that stands now.

Recently Milo's world record from Saskatchewan scoring 213" was sold to Bass Pro for one million. After 30 years I thought he'd never sell it.

Something else fun happened recently. There's been three well known typical shed antlers coming from the same buck, each in the 100" typical range, some 30+ years ago. It...

I don't know who the Il whitetail industry guy is nor about his two bucks but I give him appropriate congratulations. That said he's not the only one to get two 200" bucks the same season. 5 yrs ago I took a 207 gross typical 12 pt from my farm in La. then a few weeks later got a 210 nontypical with an 11" drop tine from the Mexico ranch. Was a good year!

What is the largest gross score buck your LA farm produced compared to the largest gross score mexico ranch buck?

 

[Baker]

Farm--220 though my neighbor took a 227 that shared our property . I've grown another buck I estimate around 220-230 but got killed by hurricane.

Ranch--This ones the biggest at 212 and by far and away my best net score though I consider such just a novelty. We have taken a number between 205-210
