When I was a kid (about 50 years ago) one of the guys hunting with my dad got one something like that. When they were packing it out with a Tote Goat it's nose was dragging on one side and its rear was dragging on the other. Had something like 15 points on one side and 13 on the other. The old guy who shot it was about 80 something at the time and shot it with his 30-30 rifle with irons. Nice to know there are still bucks of our dreams out there somewhere.

Well, I have a family member that knows the guy that took it. His son was on the hunt with the guy that shot the buck and it was taken during the 2nd season in unit 421 on the Grand Mesa. Here's a pic of the buck while it was in camp the evening it was taken and the young man that took it. By the way, this was a young local hunter that was hunting meat and there was no guide involved. I read the CO papers daily and if this buck had been poached and the DOW had it, the papers would have the story. Bottom line, they dont. Not even the Grand Junction Sentinel has anything about a huge buck being poached and one like this would have made the papers! Be careful what you ask for because you just may get it someday.

Congrats to the hunter. I concur with Pirate. I saw this the other day at Darryl's and it's even more impressive in person. No word of DOW having any issue with it and I just spoke to Darryl today. The Grand Mesa isn't (wasn't, at least) known for a lot of recent giant bucks. It gives hope to us regular folks! Shameless plug for Darryl's web site I built for him: www.darrylstaxidermy.com sd

Glad to hear it was not poached. That young guy has a lifetime of hunting ahead of him. He will nrver kill a bigger one. But thats ok! The 280 Remington is overbore. The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
