BuckTracker: Mississippi Freak
This photo sailed into my inbox a few weeks back and I've been unable to trace its origin. According to the message, the monster whitetail was shot in Mississippi, and it is a buck to behold. Check out the third beam on the left side of the rack, and all those abnormal points...enough to keep a scorer on his toes!
Also, if the dates on the trail cam and harvest pics are legit, the hunter snapped this buck's photo about a week before putting his tag on him in mid-December. This is a feat I have yet to pull off...but I admire the heck out of anyone who has.
If anyone out there knows a more complete story about this deer, please write in and let us know. Its a wonderful whitetail and I'd love to hear more about it!
Scott-
I've emailed the link to a number of my MS clients. If I get a lead, I'll let you know!

Good deal, Scott, and thanks. Any luck with the sheds? Every time I want to go out, it snows again!

That is a nice buck! I wonder what makes a buck have a dual main beam like that? Is it genetics? Any way awesome buck!

Killed a smallish buck 3 years ago that had two horn burrs at the base of the right antler. Once I found that, I wished I had let him go! Oh, well!

Energy Independence Now!
No more Oil Wars!
Stop funding the terrorists!
Drill in Anwar.
Build more nuclear power plants
Use More coal.
Use more natural gas
Turn trash into energy
Double the efficiency of windmills and solar cells.
If France can do nuclear power so can we.
If Brazil can do biomass/ethanol power so can we.
If Australia can do LNG power so can we.

Looks like someone is lost. This is a board about hunting whitetails, not political agenda.

Poetryman is CLEARLY lost. Sure, France can build a nuke plant, but can they grow a whitetail like the Mississippi Freak? I think not!

Still too much snow here as well for finding sheds. Going to southern Iowa next weekend to try my luck!

Was this buck shot in southern iowa? Just wondering because my family owns about 60 acres of land down there and we've seen some pretty big bucks.

That is one F*****' sweet DEER. I would like to have that as a trophy on my wall.
