Texas Hunter Bags Potential Nebraska State-Record Buck
From the Journal Star:
[A] 38-point whitetail generating [lots of] buzz was shot [last] Saturday by a 24-year-old Texan hunting on private land in Richardson County. On Wednesday, Wes O'Brien told the Journal Star his trophy has received a preliminary score of 281.
The rack's official score won't be determined for 60 days. During the so-called drying period, antlers will shrink a little.
So it remains to be seen if the O'Brien buck will top a famous set of antlers from a deer killed 47 years ago in Hall County by bowhunter Del Austin of Hastings. Commonly called "Old Mossy Horns," the Austin buck scored 279 7/8 , ranking it not only first in Nebraska, but a world record for a whitetail taken by archery.
"I don't care if he doesn't get any records. He's amazing to me," O'Brien said of his deer.
Check out the full story.

What a great thing to be thankful for!
Every time I see a deer like that I wonder how the score it. I imagine that it would be eay to get lost, how do they make sure that they measure every point and only once? Even without a score it is an amazing buck!
Wow he makes a good point by saying I don't care if he doesn't get any records. He's amazing to me." Some just want their deer to be a record but he is just thankful for what he got.
I actually saw this buck at the check in station this buck is enormous i mean i couldnt believe the size it was as tall as up to my knee from the fround and i couldnt put my hand around the main beam if you could find the main beam
That's amazing. Looks like there are two or three racks growing out of its head.
thats crazy. i want to see it. any pics yet?
HOLY CRAP !
Here I was all set to say something "mean" about "Texan's" and this kid has the "gut's" to say,
"I don't care if he does'nt get any records ... "
GLAD this ol' boy was taken by a young man with CLASS !
Great buck and I couldn't agree with you more BigO
awesome deer be sure to check out the full story for a picture. great deer and I agree with everyone else couldnt have gone to a more classy or deserving hunter
ss2, are you typing or texting? Why the hell are you even here?
ss2, I'm not going to debate right or wrong with you, but I do agree with you that the whitetail deer is an awesome animal.
ss-sidekick. Read Genisis 1:26 please.
ss2 and ss sidekick, we take these animals to nourish our body and provide meat to our family.. We are real men, and we take care of the enviroment also, without hunters the enviroment would not be healthy and so diseased it would be sickening, get the hell off this sight and go hug a tree.
p.s. god gave us canines for a reason!!

ss2 and ss sidekick,you are showing your ingnorance. IF you two believe that the bible is the true word of GOD and there is none other--then READ IT. You talk about GOD but do you truly know HIM? If you read the BIBLE and believe IT, I think that either you will change your mind or at least you'll leave GOD out of your comments. May GOD bless you as you search for the truth--if you really want to find it. CAUTION: Finding the truth can take the wind out of your sail.
Can we ban these ss people. What they are doing is illegal and they should be ticketed. Someone on field and stream needs to bring justice down own theses sorry excuse of human beings.
The way to get rid of them is to use the REPORT option on their post and send a note to the sysop.
Its a better method than responding to them, that "Makes their day if they think it bothers you.
People against killing animals should just commit suicide. If you actually think about it there are a whole lot more animals killed for one salad than 20 steaks. Every time all these large harvesters and tractors harvest the vegetables millions of tiny creatures are murdered, chopped up into little pieces and not even utilized such as mice and cute little rabbits, chipmunks, birds, lizards, snakes, and so on. So stop being hypocritical and just starve yourself to death already so you don't harm any more cute little creatures.
SS2 you are showing you ignorance again Moishe is Hebrew for Moses/Moshe/Moishe. Your rights end with insults.
You have the intellect of a Cocker Spaniel Puppy ss2 in fact I think that is an insult to Cocker spaniels, you have not written one intelligent word in all the blathering you have done here. Go somewhere else and grow some cojones.
Leave adults alone.
i dont mean to try to sound better than anyone but arguing on the computer, and making fun of peoples names is pretty childish if you ask me if youll notice outdoorsman dont usually pick a fight with antis, its the antis that get on here and stick their noses in other peoples business that start the fight if you antis would just stay off thus sight and quit telling us whats right and wrong most of us would leave you guys alone and there would be no problems.
congrats on the deer by the way
ss2, how does asking you to read the bible qualify me as a know-it-all? Since I've been accused of telling you how to live your faith when I didn't--now I will. Protesters are supposed to be peaceable--you are not. The constraint that we have had toward you speaks volumes about us. I do think that I'm somewhat qualified to answer you about GOD only because I've READ THE BIBLE. Enough said, I won't answer you again because it won't do any good and the people here have better things to do than watch you and me argue back and forth.
I am not even going to comment on the ignorance of the two anti-hunters... But for those of you who have given kudos to this Texan who harvested an awesome Nebraska buck, who claims he doesn't care if he breaks any records, wait till you hear this... Search the net enough, and you will come across several articles where the Texan states he will consider SELLING this rack once mounted. The buck is "amazing" to him, but not so amazing that he won't collect a paycheck from something that most folks would love to have had the opportunity to have taken. That is just sad in my humble opinion. It is a wonderful buck, to be sure, but to accept money for something that is a once in a lifetime chance is disgusting. Someone else should have gotten this deer. Congrats, Mr. O'Brien, btu accepting money for this not ethical. I hope to heck it is illegal to sell animal parts where you are from, I know it is in Nebraska... That's just how I see it. Rant over, thanks for reading.

Sorry for the double post.
i agree with lady hunter if it is such an amazing trophy to him then he should keep it as a trophy.
I fully support ss sidekick; hes my sidekick. However the cocker spaniel comeback was awful. If ur going to step up to the plate, u better have practiced. :)
Why are some people so childish (and ignorant) they are only happy when harassing others? Any F&S users try to get onto the PETA site and cause trouble there? I do not believe so. Maybe outdoorsmen are the only true gentlemen left?
And if you new any of the laws protecting us from crazy people like you it is illegal to harass anybody legally taking wildlife resources which is what you are doing.
Nice "comment" there ss2, You NAZI, P.T.E.A MORON !
Nice to see the folks from "DUMB AND DUMBER" are working again though.
F&S does have a justice system. If your post get reported enough you will be blocked from the site. we've got people blocked before we can do it again.
So to all my F&S friends start clicking that report button.
ive already started
Thank you field and stream.The troublemaker and their posts are gone.I apologise for arguing with them and being off topic.
