Non-Typical World Record?
We first told you about this great buck a few weeks ago. Now the story can be told.
As we first told you about a few weeks ago on the Big Buck Zone, Nebraska’s longstanding non-typical state record may be about to be unseated. According to reports I’ve been able to dig up on the Internet and from the Omaha World Herald, a 24-year-old hunter by the name of Wesley O’Brien shot a giant non-typical in Nebraska that could top the famous Del Austin buck.

I wonder if Beatty's is a record for Ohio. I know the second place record is at Cabela's in West Virginia shows a 188 7/8, or 4/8.
I'VE got a question for you BILL and I mean no disrepect towards you.It was mentioned you didn't realize to what extremes pple would go through to take big bucks and that you also hunted and worked nites catching poachers. We all have heard stories how some game wardens have taken liberty's with thier job, and I personaly have had a run in with these types. So have you ever had to question any of you;re own cohorts inthier behaviour? you're retired now so the truth can come out.
Man it really is a shame to lose a great buck to the hiways, but it is gonna happen. I retired as a game warden of over 28 yrs service and had to pick up some real trophies. I hunted one for two years and lost him to an 18-wheeler, after he made it thru another hunting season. Between the hiway traffic and road/night hunters, big bucks have a hard go of it. We didn't realize just how many people would take a chance at a good buck, until we started using the decoy deer. We had two separate "hunters" actually run off the road and hit them with their trucks!
Awesome buck...and an even better story! Imagine if you got a chance in one of the monster buck states..and didn't cost you more than a tag and the trip. Regardless of the official score, the hunting community remember this one for a long time. Hats off to the landowner that allowed O'Brien beat around on his property.
I hunt in Richardson county and know there are huge deer in the area. Too bad a local couldn't have shot it. At least someone from Nebraska. I hunt closer to the Missouri River, about 20 miles east of where he shot this one. He shot it along the Muddy Creek. I don't know where OL got their info, but the Platte river is at least 80 miles north of there, up by Omaha.
That is one amazing deer,my hats off to O'Brien that is a great buck.
I'm not much for shooting non typical deer, but dang. Oh and the monster on the left, good lord. Yeah what a wall hanger. I hope he tasted as good as he looks.
