This is a great question. In order for the Ward buck to be considered for the world record they would first have to strip the velvet and then wait 60 days to score it. That would only be a temporary score until the spring of 2011 when P&Y has there biannual convention where the buck would be panel scored. Some of you are saying P&Y does take bucks in velvet and, yes they do but there is a catch. If you enter a buck in velvet into P&Y they do not list it with the current ranked bucks it will be listed in the newest P&Y book under the velvet category. The buck would not be published in any other books after that. Velvet animals are not considered for the all time book. The state book allows you to enter velvet bucks in it but they take 2.5% deduction after the 60 day drying period. Hope this helps Brian

Hey Everyone, Thanks for all of your great comments. This was truly the buck of my lifetime. There are some rumors going around that I shot this buck off of private land after I paid a trespass fee. This is the farthest thing from the truth. This buck was shot of off National Forest where anyone can hunt. Thanks Again for the great comments. Brian

You are a stud!!!!!! It took me many years to kill a buck like that with a gun and you did it with a bow. I owe my success to my dad and it sounds like your dad is doing a great job with you. Congrats.

Great Buck Chipper

That as awesome you both killed together. I have had a few days like that with my dad and they are amazing days. Good Job and Congrats

Great buck and good shot.
