Just seems fair that if a man finds a buck and has the will and the want he should be able to keep it! Hey, why didn’t the guy that found it get to keep it?

Many, many years ago Mike Helland was my boyfriend and he brought it home and it lived in our freezer in the basement for a while before it went off to the taxidermist. I opened the freezer and jumped out of my skin. It was monstrous, seemed bigger than a moose rack. Hi, I personally know this is real.

Some of the facts are incorrect. The "toothless" part is difficult to swallow since most of the deer with run-down teeth can't eat as well, thereby having inferior antlers... which this deer does not. I agree with you Buckmanager.

This story is basically written as it was originally told in the press, but there are some things that do not quite add up, especially the part about being toothless. I have always suspected that the bottom jaws were missing and that the buck was not actually toothless, but I do not know this for fact. When you get down to it, I can buy the rest of the story since Missouri can produce some big-bodied bucks---and considering this deer is a genetic anomaly to begin with---but either the age or the toothless part can not be right.

There are so many weird facts with this story. This buck was "toothless," yet weighed 250 pounds and had THAT rack?? And he was 4.5 years old and had NO TEETH? I just don't see how this buck was THAT young, with THAT rack, weighing THAT much and had no teeth in the very early winter. It doesn't all add up to me. If you can make any sense out of this Buckmanager I'd appreciate it. I have a question. There are so many weird facts with this story.
