Baler's 40 pt. Buck!

Camo Girl's Blog posted on Friday, January 25, 2008, a picture of Baler with his 40 pt. buck. She said a friend had email her about this and was trying to track down and verify the story and find out all the details. She also stated that the rumor is that Cabela’s offered him $150,000 for this buck.


After doing some research on this I found out that BrownBear416 from Slave Lake, AB, posted this picture on Nov. 4, 2007 on Alberta Outdoorsman forum of a 9 year old harvesting a 40 pt. buck from Oklahoma. This is the same boy. He said that his buddy's son took this buck this past Saturday morning with a muzzleloader. It has 40 points and scores around 220 B&C (unofficially). The wire around it's horns is from a hot wire to keep it out of the garden, which didn't work. He was told that Bass Pro and Cabela's are already trying to bid for it. This is only the second buck that Baler has ever taken. His other buck was a 12' eight point. The only problem that Baler has now is there is no where to go but down. What a monster in our great outdoors! Congratulations Baler! This is a sweetthing!

    Brings up an interesting question. Would you sell it? $150K is a lot of money.

  4. Holy Moly! What a buck!

    Chris, I'd sell it in a heart beat and as part of the deal ask for a fiberglass mold of that rack to be made so I could hang it on the wall.
