Outdoor Life records

I was reading the Outdoor Life magazine tonight and found some interesting world records.

A northern pintail banded in Sep 1940 in Athabasca county, Alberta Canada, lived until Jan 1954, where it was shot near Macuspana, Tabasco Mexico. Considering the 3,000 miles between band site and death, and assuming the bird made the two - way migration each year for 13 years, the pintail would have logged nearly 80,000 migration miles during its lifetime.

At South Dakota’s Lead Club Range on Aug 20, 1932, Ed McGivern of Montana fired a .45 caliber revolver five times from 15 feet into an area with a diameter of 1.1875 inches. He accomplished this in 0.45 seconds (including the time needed to draw the gun form his holster), and did it twice that day.

Today’s game law violators get off easy compared to poachers of yesteryear. Under French King Clovis, who died in A.D. 511, the slightest trespass into the royal hunting preserve occasioned public whipping.
Poaching drew the stiffer penalty of torture on the rack, burning and finally death by decapitation.

At one time, the laws of California required a person to purchase a hunting license before setting a mousetrap.

There are many more but as I have to type these instead of copy and paste, you are going to have to buy the April 2006 edition to see them. :D

Ok, ya guys are going to make me bang on the keyboard again. Wish my scanner wasn't broke! :cry: :lol:

On Sept 29,2003, in Monroe county Iowa, 15 year-old Tony Lovstuen killed a huge non-typical whitetail with his muzzleloader. The rack tallied 307 5/8 Boone and Crockett Club points, making it the highest-scoring whitetail rack ever taken by a hunter.

On a cold Nov day in 1926 Carl Lenander Jr. dropped a monstrous Minnesota buck with a single shot. Field-dressed, the deer weighed 402 pounds. The state conservation dept calculated its live weight to be 511 pds. No heavier whitetail deer has ever been recorded.

The Irish elk, which became which became extinct 7,700 years ago, was the largest member of the deer family that ever lived. A mature stag stood up to 7 feet at the shoulders, could weigh more than 1,500 pds and carried antlers that measured as much and 14 feet from tip to tip. Fossilized remains of the giant elk, including their antlers, are on display in some European museums.

In August 2004, Texas deer breeders Don Wilson and Gene Gonzalez paid $450,000 for Dream Buck, the largest whitetail buck in Tezas and one of the biggest non-typicals anywhere. As a 4-year-old, Dream Buck scored 301 3/8. The men sell the deer’s semen to other breeders of trophy-size whitetails.

That world record reindeer was shot in a fenced hunt so the guy was probably pretty calm lol. A kid up here found a typical shed last week measures 103 inches-the little bugger won't say where though he found it.

I found a pair here, they scored 195 2/8, course this was the one that was the grandaddy that sneaks into the yard at night. He was hit this week before he had antlers. He always had a big brown streak on his left side. I sent them to my Uncle in BC to show to the kids there that bucks do score over 120. lol
