  1. Bullwidgeon is correct about the antlers on Stockwell's buck.

     

    I would bet my favorite straw hat that IF the Stockwell record is broken, the buck will be killed by someone who isn't an avid trophy hunter. He will come upon it, as Stockwell did his deer, by chance encounter and be lucky enough to collect it.

     

    As for where it will come from, it is possible that it could come from any unit in Arizona, New Mexico or old Mexico.

     

    A freak whitetail buck need survive only a mere five hunting seasons to reach optimum antler growth, and despite how deadly a predator we mere humans believe we are, I am convinced there are bucks of that age and older in every unit -- including the most heavily hunted units -- that have never been shot at by hunters and never will be.
