Have you heard about the possible new Pope & Young world record non-typical mule deer? It was reportedly taken in Saskatchewan in September of 2011.
Cody Robbins, host of the “Live 2 Hunt” TV show took the muley that has a reported green score of ~294 inches. The standing Pope & Young world record for a nontypical mule deer is 274 7/8 inches, and was taken in Colorado by Kenneth Plank.
Recently Cody appeared with his buck fully mounted. The current Pope & Young World Record nontyipical mule deer scored 274 7/8. Cody’s buck was officially scored at 287 7/8. However, since a buck cannot be entered into the record book unless it is scored with the velvet stripped, it is not the offical score. Stripping the velvet may take less than 5 inches off the score which would still make it the new world record at ~282 inches, but Cody has refused to strip the velvet. What would you do if you were in his shoes?
