Giant Kansas Drop-Tine Buck Resurfaces on the Internet
This is my dream buck for obvious reasons.
I posted on this deer in December 2008, when details were sketchy. I was surprised it didn’t get more play on the Web back then, for this is truly an unbelievable buck.
Well, he has popped up again on Facebook and some other sites. Finally, here is the story as best I can piece it together.
One afternoon in December Chad Christie spotted the buck and started stalking him from his backyard in rural Kansas. As Chad moved in across a bean field, a doe he hadn’t seen busted him and jumped up. Both she and the buck stared nervously at Chad, and he knew it was now or never. Chad wrapped his arm in the sling of his .30-06 and took a long off-hand shot. The buck kicked and took off, a good sign.
It was getting dark and Chad had trouble finding blood, so he backed out until the next morning. They found the monster 30 yards from the hit spot. The main-frame 12-point had 40 inches of abnormal drop points and scored 242 non-typical. It ranks in the top 20 Kansas all-time non-typicals, which is surprising. I would think the giant would be closer to the top!
I mean look at that drop rack again—you will never see a more impressive animal. comment
