Freaks of Nature

[Brian Krebs]

I hunted a whitetail buck in 1978 that had a wide rack; but was only a fork horn. A poacher shot it and it was measured at 36 inches wide. As it was only a fork horn; it was cut up for knife handles...

We have some that have gone over 300 pounds, but I don't call that a freak.

We had some people white water rafting (don't know where they were from) who asked how long it took for the deer to grow into Moose lol, now that is freaky. Alan

I used to see a doe that went 300# or better. Boy was this doe mean and nasty! She's still around but I don't see my ex mother in law that much. LOL

I shot a small buck many years ago. When I shot him I thought is was a spike(gun hunting, 50 yard shot). When I recovered the deer I found out it was a small basket rack 10 point. We pulled the lower jaw to age it and it still had it's milk teeth(less than 1 1/2 year old). I still have the mount and the jaw bone to prove it.   Pat

I have a bullmastiff female that is around 110-120lbs and everyone thinks she is huge, and when I had her at the vet the other day there was an English Mastiff there that she could basicly walk under. I watched them weigh the thing and it was 227 pounds and was not fat looking. In all seriousness the thing was as big as a mans bicycle.

I was sitting in the waiting room and it walked up to me and put its head about 3 inches from my face. It was an odd experience if nothing else.

Al, I'm thinking more like 300# dressed weight.

Saw a "Buck" once out in a hay field chasing does around. But he didn't have any antlers. I thought he may have broken them off in a fight. Couldn't see anything on top of his head from 200 yds. with binocs. A few days later I was moving a stand and heard some grunting coming my way. I'm sure it was the samw deer, came right under me. He(?) did not only have no antlers but no sign of a base either. Couldn't see the underside.   :D   It was a pretty chunky critter whatever "it" was.
