I didn't see this posted anywhere....
Stephen Tucker, 26, of Gallatin, Tenn., shows off the whitetail deer with a 47-point rack he killed Nov. 7, 2016, in Sumner County, Tenn.
I wonder how an animal with that rack can walk through the woods without getting hung up.
GALLATIN, Tenn. — All that's left for a 27-year-old Tennessee man to claim the official world record for a whitetail deer is the certification from the Boone and Crockett Club.
Stephen Tucker of Gallatin killed the trophy buck with a muzzleloader in November in rural Sumner County, but a 60-day drying-out period had to take place to allow for possible shrinkage of the antlers.
That period ended Monday, and a Boone and Crockett panel of four judges measured the 47-point rack, giving the deer a score of 312⅜.
That is larger than the non-typical current net world record of 307⅝ from that Tony Lovstuen in Albia, Iowa, killed in 2003. That deer had 38 points.
Potential world-record deer antlers could be worth $100,000
