A Woodbury woman has bagged one of the biggest bucks ever killed in Minnesota with a bow and arrow.

Deb Luzinski shot the 24-point buck last Friday at Bald Eagle-Otter Lakes Regional Park in White Bear Township, in northeastern Ramsey County.

Once a mandatory 60-day drying period has passed, her buck could rank among the top three non-symmetrical -- or non-typical -- white-tailed deer ever killed with a bow and arrow, according to the Minnesota Record Book.

I went to the grand opening of A Bass Pro store here in San Antonio and they had a trailer with trophy mounts on display. I talked to the guy running the trailer and he told me that there is big money on mounts.

Once a year there is this auction where the primary bidders are Bass Pro and Cabelas. When I asked him on the prices he indicated that a good mount will go for thousands of dollars but that a record mount will go for 7 figures or more.

This lady may have one of those big dollar mounts!

Are you sure it wasn't John Kerry who bagged that buck?

They're both nice!

how much did it weigh? Bow hunting is a challenge! My uncle got an 8 pointer last week.

[Echo Talon]

wow that looks like a nice sized deer!

[Echo Talon]

did you get a weight on that deer? it looks like its over 180#

[ecurbh]

Ping.

[Jaysun]

From another article:

"The 24-pointer was 3½ years old and weighed about 190 pounds — a relatively small and young buck, considering his antler size, Luzinski said."

That thing is a damned monster. It's said the be the third largest killed with a bow. I'd like to see the other two.

Here's some more, and a link to the article where I found the picture.

"The buck's antlers have been measured using the Boone and Crockett scoring method, which determines a deer's antler size in inches, based on number of points, thickness and width of the antlers, with deductions for imperfections. Luzinski's buck nets a score of 220 inches, which is a "green" score before a mandatory 60-day drying period.

The state's biggest nontypical whitetail killed by archery measures 2234/8, taken by Glen Bullick in 1989. The No. 2 archery deer measures 2225/8 and No. 3 measures 2175/8, so it is possible Luzinski's deer would claim that spot, according to the Minnesota Record Book.

Among combined firearms and archery kills, her buck would rank in the top 40."

WoW! Good for her.

that sounds about right, my dad got an 8 pointer that was 149lbs and it was 1.5 years old.

[Echo Talon]

the neck on that thing is pretty big, looks like it was in full rut.
