Possible Nebraska State record
The game warden was there and guessed the age to be 7-8 years? He said it should be a 38 point rack? I did not count.
This will probably be the new state record according to the warden. It will be pictured in Nebraska Land Magazine n December. The guy that
shot it was in his mid 20s. A guy around 60 congratulated him and told him to cherish this because he has never seen anything like it in his years of hunting.
A touching hunting story
A hunter and his friend were sitting in a tall tower stand along Highway 64 near Sturgeon Falls, Ontario, early one cold December morning.
Suddenly, a huge buck walked out over the corn they had spread in the low shrubs; the buck was magnificent..... a once in a lifetime animal.
His rack was huge.
The hunter's hand shook as his mind was already counting the Boone and Crockett points.
Moving quickly, the hunter carefully aimed the Leopold scope on his .300 Win Mag at the unsuspecting buck.
As he was about to squeeze the trigger on this deer of a lifetime, his friend alerted him to a funeral procession passing slowly down Highway 64.
The hunter pulled away from the gunstock, set the rifle down, took off his hat, bowed his head and then closed his eyes in prayer.
His friend was stunned.
"Wow, that is the most thoughtful and touching thing I have ever seen you do.
You actually let that trophy deer go to pay respects to a passing funeral procession.
You are indeed the kindest man I have ever known, and I feel lucky to call you a friend."
The hunter shrugged. "Yeah, well, we were married for 37 years."

Wolves in the Bighole Valley
These pictures where taken in the Bighole Valley in southwest Montana. Great news, The Montana Fish and Game won't have to feed the Elk this year because of deep snow. They will be lucky to even find an Elk with this many killing machines running around. There are 22 wolves in this pack...

FINALLY, a credible story about a big buck
Here's a picture of the new world record whitetail. It was taken by the cousin of a co-worker's sister's, uncle's, best friend's, son-in-law's cousin. Reportedly it will score 2603-1/8 by B&C standard and was shot in West Texas on a really windy day around a curve. Supposedly, this deer had killed a Brahma bull, two Land Rovers and six Jehovah's Witnesses in the last two weeks alone. They said it was winning a fight with Bigfoot when it was shot.

This should never have happened
A motorist drove his pickup truck through a herd of bighorn sheep on Highway 1, about 7 miles west of Anaconda, late Monday morning, killing at least eight animals, according to the Montana Highway Patrol.
The driver, of Anaconda, wasn't injured or identified, said trooper Tom Gill.
Montana wildlife personnel were looking for other sheep Monday afternoon that left the crash scene after being injured. More sheep deaths are expected, Gill said.
Two of the dead animals were trophy rams, according to state wildlife biologist Ray Vinkey.
The driver, an adult male, was cited with a misdemeanor traffic ticket. Alcohol wasn't a factor in the incident, the patrol said.
Gill said the driver was westbound toward Georgetown Lake when the collision occurred.
"He was not paying attention to the large signs saying ‘watch out for sheep on the road,' and didn't slow down," Gill said.
The driver claimed the sun was in his eyes and he didn't see the sheep in the roadway, according to Gill. The herd was hit about 11:45 a.m.
The driver was cited with failure to obey a traffic signal. Two, large electronic signs on the eastbound and westbound sides of the highway warn motorists to be award of bighorn sheep on the road.
The sheep often gather on that stretch of roadway to lick salt, which is put there by road crews to melt ice.
Gill said the driver's truck incurred light damage.
