32 Point Minnesota Buck Monster.

32 Point Minnesota Buck Monster.

(www.minnesotanationalguard.org). Information is sketchy, but the buck supposedly has 32 points (all may not be score-able) and weighed 192 pounds.

The lucky bow-hunter associated with the buck is Scott Okenek who hails from the Minnesota town of South Haven. According to some notes I’ve read on Internet posts the buck has also been estimated to be 5 ½ years old and looking at the buck’s antler mass and body, I’d have to agree.


To hunt the 53,000-acre Camp Ripley facility you need to apply in a lottery-style process. According to some acquaintances I know who have hunted the facility, you need to know the land, find a funnel, set a stand up and wait. Hunting pressure is moderate and you won’t be popular if you wander around under other hunter’s stands.

Not only does the facility serve to train America’s finest, it also is managed as a conservation property with environmental stewardship as a main goal. That said, the results could be outstanding and I’m sure Mr. Okenek would agree. This buck has it all and then some, especially in the brow tine department. What do you think this buck would score? I’d bet my truck it’s a Boone and Crockett contender. Congratulations!

These photos are flying across the Internet this week and if they haven’t landed on your screen yet your friends are holding out. This monster whitetail buck was bowkilled last week in central Minnesota, more specifically on the Camp Ripley military facility (www.minnesotanationalguard.org). Information is sketchy, but the buck supposedly has 32 points (all may not be scoreable) and weighed 192 pounds.

Oh God!He done went and kilt Bullwinkle!!Rocky will be devastated!!

Here's a pretty good one that was killed in Tennessee a few years ago.

we had a 35 pointer killed here a couple of years ago ...i think musky has a pic of it ....shot with a bow

Awesome deer thats for sure.

There was one several years ago that was killed in southern Ohio. Cabela's has the mounting at each of their stores. It is a truly awesome deer!~!

That is a heck of a deer. Peg, Ohio had the previous world record deer. The Beatty Buck was killed with a bow and was the biggest deer ever killed by a hunter until in 2003 when Tony killed his Albia giant in Iowa. The hole in the horn buck was found dead and is now the second biggest deer ever was found dead hit by a train. I think it was found before the Missouri Monarch (worlds biggest deer) but I could be wrong.

Now this is someone that keeps up on the deer hunting, i use to be that way when i was younger to thats why i have shot 100's of deer in my life time both filling my tags and in party hunting trips. Go gettem willy it sounds like you know your stuff about it i want to see the next monster shot by you. lolol

Thanks Mike but I love reading about monster bucks that other people have killed. For some reason I can remember alot of the names and scores alot easier than I can remember things in school. I forgot one important word earlier. I meant to say the buck mike beatty killed was that biggest buck killed by a hunter until 2003 when Tony Lovstuen killed his albia giant. The beatty buck was killed in 2000.

Thats a nice deer.

Here are some pics to the record deer I mentioned earlier.
