A Tennessee hunter has killed what is a definite state-record setting buck \u2014 and maybe even a world-record setting buck last week.<\/p>\n

Stephen Tucker of Gallatin, Tennessee, shot a 47-point non-typical whitetail deer with a Boone and Crockett Club green score of 308 3\/8 inches.<\/p>\n

The score is not yet final as the rack has to dry out for 60 days before it is officially measured per the rules. However, Dale Grandstaff of the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, who did the preliminary scoring, told the Tennessean <\/a>that Tucker\u2019s deer will break the state record.<\/p>\n

“There’s no doubt it’s going to be the new state record; I mean, that’s an absolute,” Tennessee Wildlife said Grandstaff. “As far as the world record, (the rack) is about an inch over the world record.”<\/p>\n

Grandstaff, along with a panel, will be doing the scoring after that 60-day waiting period.<\/p>\n

“When we panel score it as a group we could come up with a similar score right at what it is now,” Grandstaff said.<\/p>\n

“It may be an inch less than what I have it at. It may be an inch or two or three more. It just depends on how we as a group decide it needs to be scored,\u201d he continued. \u201cRight now it’s a green score because I just wanted to give (Tucker) an idea because I knew he would get a thousand phone calls once word gets out and they’re all going to say, ‘What did it score?'”<\/p>\n

Tucker encountered the animal several times before he was able to shoot it with his muzzleloader. The first time, he had a clean shot but the powder charge did not go off. The second time, later that day, he didn\u2019t get a clean look at it.<\/p>\n

“I was just hoping I would see him again after I passed up the shot the second time I saw him,” Tucker said. “My thinking was the second time I saw him was as far away as he was and as big as he was, I wanted to make sure that I killed him. I didn’t want to cripple him. I said to myself, ‘If I cripple him, nobody will get to kill him.’ The last thing I wanted to do was be the guy who crippled a deer like that,\u201d Tucker told the Tennessean.<\/p>\n

Several days later, on Nov. 8, Tucker — on this third attempt, third time is a charm, right? — shot and killed the three and a half year-old-buck from about 40 yards. Given the enormity of the buck, Tucker wasted no time and contacted the TWRA.<\/p>\n

“I realize there’s only a possibility that it’s going to be a world record; all we’re worried about right now is that it’s the state record,” Tucker said. “If it is the world record, that would be great. But I’m not getting my hopes up on that.”<\/p>\n

To break the state record, Tucker has to beat out a score of 244 inches set by Dave Watchel in 2000. To set a new world record, he has to beat a score of 307 5\/8 inches set by Tony Lovstuen who killed an Iowa deer in 2003.<\/p>\n

Whether Tucker breaks the world record or not, Grandsaff said he should be proud of his accomplishment.<\/p>\n

“A deer like this deer doesn’t come along very often,” Grandstaff said. “The field pictures don’t really do it justice. You would have had to actually see it to understand the amount of non-typical growth it has.”<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re unfamiliar with the difference between a non-typical whitetail deer and a typical whitetail deer, basically, it has to do with the symmetry and configuration of the rack. To oversimplify it, a typical whitetail deer has a symmetrical rack with all the points facing upward whereas a non-typical deer may have an asymmetrical rack with the points facing in any direction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
