Title: State Record Class Buck Killed by car in WV!
Post by: longbeard11 on August 14, 2012, 12:28:03 PM
My buddy sent me this pic this morning of a GIANT state record class buck killed by a car in Wyoming County, West Virginia. Shame a true monarch buck has to go out like that but seems like it happens every year. Big monster of a buck, i had to share. Hope you all enjoy.

That sucks, I hunt alot in Wyoming Co. Prob. would have never seen that buck but for sure I know I won't now. Wish someone could have killed him with a bow. Bucks like that is why the WV Bowhunters fight to keep that county and McDowell, Mingo, and Logan bow only. That sure is a (was) a good one.

That's a big rascal. That rack sure is impressive. but the part of the head sticking out of the bag looks like it belongs on an elk. Sure would like to know what he weighed.

Huge. What a shame not to be taken by a hunter instead.

I live in WV, but central.  Not sure I'd believe this.  This is HUGE for WV, especially in velvet.

Have you seen this yourself?

I'd def believe it. If youve ever hunted the 4 bow hunting only counties it wouldn't surprise you at all. There are definateley world class bucks in that area.

Heard tons of incredible stories and have seen a few pics of giants from the bow only counties.

It really goes to show the potential to grow giants exists everywhere if we just cut back on the firearms hunting and let them grow.....  But then again, the same guys who drool over a buck like that are the same guys who will shoot the first 5 point that comes by them on the opener.

Too bad that giant wasn't felled by an arrow.
