McPeake Buck in 1996

[cbhunter]

Here is the buck my friends son killed. I blurred out face because I didn't ask permission but it's on the Twra fb page

Maybe he "chose" it but I'd call that BS if allowed to do so just because you "want" it. That's not directed at you though


After further thought, I think you are right. If you enter as typical, there are deductions, if you want every inch counted then you enter as non typical

Agree that those who choose non-typical are going for the higher score. (Even though there are still deductions on a non-typical....with side to side differences of the main frame being deducted before the abnormal points are added) so from that one pic it appears the buck isnt what most would consider non-typical...super buck either way.

Now thats a non-typical! Wow!

 

[Buzzard Breath]

Agree that theres nothing non-typical about the buck...also question where the buck is listed as a non-typical? If its listed as a non-typical in the TN Deer Registry then I believe they allow the hunter to chose which way they want it entered...I know of one buck that is a very typical, main frame 10pt, with way less than 15" of junk....and this buck is entered as a non-typical.

This^^^^^ They allow the hunter to decide whether they want it as a typical or non-typical. It may go higher in the record books as a non-typical, so the hunter chose to enter it that way.

For sure…excellent deer no matter how you slice it

I saw the mount of this buck in the early 2000s displayed at the local sporting goods store in Camden the buck looks huge in the pictures but even bigger in person the frame on it was unbelievablely large, I remember a plackard with the inscription " The Eagle Creek Ghost" attached to the board the mount was on.

What a monster from Benton County.!!!! I am sure those genetics are still around that area. Does anyone know what the score was on the buck?

182 5/8

 

[Robert Mcpeake]

Wow, not sure how that is a nontypical!

Was scored by Boon and Crockett both ways, typical and non-typical

 

[Robert Mcpeake]

I figured gross was 200+inches

Just short of 200

 

[Robert Mcpeake]

I'll never forget that morning!

 

[Robert Mcpeake]

182 5/8 according to the registry

That's the correct B&C score non-typical. I typed in the incorrect score on another page.

Look for "trophy room"


Three lines at top left, trophy room towards bottom

 

[Shed Hunter]

The head or maybe a replica of this was/possibly still is on display in Anderson's sporting goods in Lexington TN. I believe they have changed owners since I lived there so not sure

 

[mayberryrick]

That's wild

For years me and my buddies would pull your picture up and daydream about killing a deer like this. You have to share the story. The only rumor I ever heard was that this deer was The Eagle Creek ghost. Trust me, I have tried to locate the story!

 

[GumbyGuy]

I would hauled that one around till his bones were bleached out white!

Account just joined today. I am skeptical it's the actual hunter that just so happened to join TNdeer today looking for the pic of a trophy of a lifetime.
