Is This Sheboygan Falls, Wisconsin Buck the New World Record Typical Whitetail?

November 09, 2009

Is This Sheboygan Falls, Wisconsin Buck the New World Record Typical Whitetail?

A 12-point buck shot Nov. 5 in Sheboygan Falls, Wisc., will almost certainly become the new Pope & Young world record typical whitetail and has a strong shot at toppling the Milo Hansen buck from the top spot in the Boone & Crockett record book as well. The buck was taken by Michael Gregoire on his brother’s farm. It was 4 1/2 years old and grossed 217 5/8 inches typical when green-scored by an official Boone & Crockett scorer.

Stay tuned -- we've got a bigger story and lots more photos in the pipeline! Here's the full story, with 23 photos of the buck. --The Editors

I have seen the Hanson buck in person and was awed by the near perfection of each side and serious width. Dont think this one is going to top it but good luck. Either one would give me the shakes if fully seen before shooting thats for sure. Awsome animals.

The Milo Hansen buck green-scored 214 4/8 by an official Boone and Crockett scorer, so this is going to be close. This Gregoire buck has shorter but stouter beams and a smaller spread.

BTW, the Hansen buck was taken is Saskatchewan, Canada.

After viewing 23 additional photos if this buck I feel it has no chance. The mass is very uneven and the G2 on the right side of forked. It will be lucky to break 200 non typical score. Plus it's a 5x6 rack with a forked brow. It's too uneven to hold a high typical score. None the less, one hell of a buck.

If it grosses only 217, I think it has little chance to break the record after deductions. Like other posters have said, too many deductions from split G2 and browtine.

A great buck but who is your source on the typical score? Doesn't appear to be a quality 200+ candidate for typical, but it does certainly appear that large for non-typical. Either way, I certainly wouldn't pass it up. In fact, my safety harness might have been severely tested had I even seen this buck alive and in range!

i happened to take a nice buck on that very same day with a split brow tine like this one. i found out very quick how much deductions hurt a score. i think this one will have too many deductions to break the world record, but that's not taking anything away from how big he is. i've realized that the score is a nice thing to have, but whenever you shoot a big deer it really doesn't mean that much because you still have a trophy. it's more about the character in my book. nice deer!

Its not all about tine length. Look at the mass between points. Its over all inches. Plus an official already scored it, probably pretty accurate. He might lose those inches, having such a mass! Maybe he should put it in a humidor. That is three 200+ bucks in Wisconsin already this year!!! All from the Southern half of the state though, way up North where I am from, I have seen twice as many Bears and Wolves as deer.....

Everyone keeps saying "oh it has too many deductions". Read the post again. It says the deer green scored 217 5/8 typical. That would mean the side to side deductions have already been considered. If the original post is correct it has a chance. If they did not count the side to side deductions yet, then obviously it doesnt. We will see.

from buckhunter wrote 9 weeks 5 days ago

Further research reveals the inside spread to be 16 1/2 inches and the bases are less than 7 inches each. If the total mass is 56 inches plus spread equals 72 1/2. I'll give the main beams 22 inches each for a 116 1/2. This means the remaining 10 points (I can only see 9) Needs to average nearly 10 inches each with absolutely zero deductions. I say the longest tine on this deer is 10 inches.

Don't get me wrong.. it's a hell of a buck but who the heck said this thing was even close to a world record?

This is a big buck but will not break the world record. There is a chance the web points will be counted as one tine that split, resulting in a big deductiob (The Curt Van Lith buck of MN has a similar tine but was counted as two tines). There is not nearly enough tine length and symmetry to break Mel Johnson's bow record, and it wouldn't even knock on the door of Milo Hanson's buck. This buck is a beautiful one though, full of mass and character, very unique. A trophy in all rights!

This buck is a trophy of a lifetime though he will not approach 200 inches typical. The Green Gross may be 217 and change but gross score is total inches of antler with no deductions. This buck has 3 scorable normal points on the right antler plus main beam with a possible 6 on the left. That means that he will probably be scored as a main frame 8 and all other tines will be deducted. The split G2 on the right will not be scored as G2 G3 from the photo's. The only way this could be scored that way was if it is a common base point which the base of the tines must make a figure 8 to be scored as two tines webbed together, this deer does not have that hourglass shape. A basic way to figure out what a deer will score if it is completely symmetrical is take the shorter corresponding point and double it Left G1 is 8 Right G1 is ten, the score get's the shorter twice, the 2 inches on the longer G1 are lost to deductions. Unmatched tines are abnormal and a deduction.
