Cornhusker Giant Threatens State Non-Typ Record
By Scott Bestul
I’ve long considered Nebraska one of the true sleeper states for big whitetails. I’ve hunted there for the last several years, and have always been impressed by the quality habitat, abundant crop base and solid whitetail numbers. Cornhusker hunters always kill some great deer, and it was there that Del Austin killed “Old Mossy Horns” a 279-7/8” non-typ that remains one of the greatest bow-killed non-typicals. The Austin buck was shot in 1962 and was a one-time world archery record. The buck has reigned as the state’s non-typ record for 47 seasons.
But this month a buck was killed that may topple Austin’s mark. Texas hunter Wes O’Brien was firearms hunting in Richardson County this month when he shot a giant non-typical that received a green score rumored to score between 278 and 281” B&C. O’Brien will have to wait for the 60-day drying period to see if his monster buck is the new state record.

Look at that basket head!!!
Wow that's a monster. I'd love to see a full gallery with that guy.
Wow! Congrats!
What an AWESOME whitetail! It would be a treat to get to measure that puppy! Looks to be a 6 point mainframe and is absolutely a pleasure to the eyes!
That's an awesome buck. I second the gallery idea. How much does that rack weigh?
Every state is a Sleeper State. All you have to do is be in the right place at the right time and do the right thing. Sounds simple don't it!
awesome deer lots of palmation should score high
wowww!!! what an awesome deer
GUY thats a monster congrats !!!!!
REALLY A MONSTER!!!!!!! LOOKS LIKE 2009 IS GOING TO BE BRAKING A LOT OF RECORDS
Now thats a buck of a lifetime!
Holy husker monkeys thats a monster in any field of dreams!
Man I tell ya.. thats more horn's than Ive seen in the past 2 season's Nice Buck.....
Now if Nebraska can have the same luck in the Big XII championship game.
I live about 15 miles from where he checked it in, and it made the papers and pix have been flying around via e-mail since he checked it. The hunters that were at the check station were astounded, and it is nice to see the home state get some pub for it's nice deer. Still, I'd just as soon it wasn't a guy from Texas who'd shot it, but what the hell. Also, that was the only big deer in Nebraska, so don't bother coming here to find his little brother. The paper said it was estimated to be 7 1/2-8 1/2 years old.
