I got this in my email today. No pics yets but it sounds like a doozy buck.
================================================== ======
From our Alberta friend, Northern Whitetails.
This just in from Jeff Lander -- the president of the Alberta Professional Outfitter's Accociation sent him this e-mail last night.
"I just got off the phone with a friend of mine whose a P&Y and a B&C scorer. He just green scored a whitetail taken in the Edmonton Bow Zone, apparently a short distance from the area where the McGarvey buck (199 net) was taken a few years back. Supposedly taken by a Matthews 70% compound.
This deer grossed 225 + and nets green 208 6/8 typical. It has 3 abnormal points totalling 5" and unevenness of another 11" (16" of abnormal). Beams are 27+ and 28". Typical 5x6 frame with the big 3 points in around 12, 13, & 14". 21" inside spread
This buck was taken by a local Edmonton area bowhunter, 29 year old Wayne Zaft. It does have a brow point with a common base but otherwise its clean to score. If it can hold these measurements at all and passes all fairchase scrutiny etc. it would easily be the new world record since Mel Johnson's 1965 204 4/8 out of Illinois. It could also end up 2nd only in Boone & Crockett to the Hanson Saskatchewan buck."
From what I understand the 70% Mathews cam is legal under the 65% Pope and Young rule, something to do with how the let-off is measured. Any way you look at it, this buck will likely net in the 206-207 range and like the non-typical Beatty buck, will be the largest typical whitetail ever taken by a hunter!
Alberta -- God's Country!
