I received the following information on this buck in an email.

I would take the following with a grain of salt until it is verified but if it is not a doctored photo, it an incredible buck!

"From a guy who hunts in the general area that the buck was taken.

Deer Hunters:

Here are some early photos of a great deer taken during the youth hunt this> year. This buck was shot at a property only eight miles from where I hunt> on my brother-in-law's property in Grant County. We saw a buck with 16 inch tines two years ago. It could have been him or a relative. Anyway, Grant County produces some great bucks every year.

This buck green scores 203 Typical, NET, not gross. If so, this would place this buck in the top> three typicals all time in Wisconsin, and that includes the great Jordan Buck at 207 that was world record for decades. These pictures were taken in front of the Cabela's store in Prairie du Chien.

The hunter shown in the picture a 15 year old Williams boy from Millville, WI. The deer was shot between Millville and Woodman. The buck was shot with a rifle during the youth hunt in early October. This deer has 16 inch tines.

The manager at Cabelas offered him $25,000 on the spot the day the pictures were taken. Cabela's offer included making a replica set of antlers that look identical> to the originals and the hunter would be able to keep the cape. The boy and his father turned down that offer. The manager then called the Cabelas headquarters in Nebraska and immediately got permission to offer the boy $61,000 for the rack. He still said no.

Writers and photographers from various deer magazines descended on Wisconsin to see the deer so I'm sure> you will see more about this buck in the upcoming days. "
