Has anyone heard about a monster buck sighting in the middle of Lamoille County?
A co-worker of mine (non-hunter) was headed toward Stowe the other night and saw a huge deer in a field about 200 yards out. He's not a hunter but a lifelong Vt'er and is quite positive it was a whitetail. I've heard that other people have seen this deer sporadically, but they claim it is either an escaped elk or stag, or something. But no one is sure either way.
The attached photo is of very, very poor quality but I think it has the shape of a whitetail. The antler growth does not look like elk to me, but you never know. It's hard to tell what species it is for sure, but regardless you can tell the antlers are impressive especially for an area not known for such high quality rack development.
Needless to say I have a few trail cams set up nearby and will keep you posted of any updates. Hopefully my next photo will include me next to the animal with my gun laying over his back.....
