817.0. "New Record set in Vermont" by SALEM::PAPPALARDO () Tue Oct 23 1990 18:50

    
    This was taken from the Lawrence Eagle Tribune 10/21/90 without
    permission.
    
    
                          A new record deer taken with a Bow was set on
    opening day (October 6), in Vermont. The new state record was killed by
    William Warner of Sandgate. The huge buck weighed 189 pounds, the rack
    had 8 points with a spread of 19 1/2 inches.
             Warner's buck qualifies for the Pope and Young Record Book.
    The antlers rated 140 points. The previous record in Vermont entered in
    Pope and young rated 123 points and was taken in 1985.

817.1Nice deer, But?WFOV11::DRUMMWed Oct 24 1990 11:037
    	Guy,
    
    	Tis a nice deer indeed, but a small nit me thinks. Recheck the
    paper. The min score to enter the Pope & Young book is 125 for
    white tailed deer. Did the paper make a small error?

    Guy -  In your reply you stated the previous record was 123, 125 being
           the minimum.
817.4right and wrongWFOV11::DRUMMWed Oct 24 1990 14:327
    	Bob,
    
    	Your right 140 scores the book but the note says the old record in
    the book was 123 a bit below the min. I guess I can be as foggy a
    writer as the paper.

    The note is as published in the paper. As far a score of 123, that
    could be a real possibility, the state maybe listing it by the scoring
    method of Pope and Young measurments for their own records. The town
    of harvest was not listed (not surprising) but i'm sure, one of you fellow
    noters in Vermont can find out more facts due to the "home" state
    advantage.

817.7Sandgate, VtSKIVT::WENERThu Oct 25 1990 09:3113
    
    	The deer was taken in Sandgate.  The guy who shot it worked at
    Mt. Equinox in Manchester.  Sandgate is the town just to the west of
    Manchester.  Also, you are correct about the previous VT record being
    123 Points.  The measurements were based on the P&Y (B&C, everything
    else), but I can't see how that particular deer would have made it in 
    the P&Y record book.  The minimum score is 125 as someone else has 
    suggested.  We have to assume it wasn't listed in P&Y, but was
    recognized as the highest scoring rack taken by bow in VT.  I wouldn't
    mind shooting a "123"  :')    
    
    good luck, Rob
