You bet redneck, I have seen this big guy before. I heard the buck is for sale recently but not sure if it is true. Price tag probably around $200,000 or so USD. Here's a pic of what he would have looked like on the hoof.

Alberta man admits selling prize antlers
Last Updated Fri, 30 Apr 2004 13:40:46
EDMONTON - After a week in an Alberta jail for refusing to turn over a set of prize deer antlers, a 75-year-old man was sent back to his cell on Thursday for refusing to say what he did with the money when he apparently sold the family heirloom last year.




Don Broder admitted in an Edmonton court he sold the world-record rack last May.

The trophy had been in the family since Broder's father, Ed, shot the buck in 1926.

The antlers are famous in hunting circles, still holding the world record for a non-typical mule deer.

Don Broder has had the antlers since 1973, but in 1997 his six siblings launched a lawsuit to have the trophy antlers sold and the money divided.

RECORD HUNTING TROPHIES

Hunting trophies such as antlers and skulls are judged on a point system derived by the Boone and Crockett Hunting Club.

World Records:

Typical Mule Deer:
5 points on the left
6 on the right
inside spread of 30 7/8"

Non-typical Mule Deer (The Broder Trophy):
21 points on the left
22 on the right
inside spread of 22 1/8"

Alaska-Yukon Moose:
15 points on the left
19 on the right
largest spread of 65 1/8"

The Broder siblings won a court decision in March. Saying he promised his dying father in 1968 never to let the antlers be sold, Broder was found in contempt of court for not handing them over and put in jail last Friday.

On Thursday, he admitted he doesn't have the antlers anymore.

Elizabeth MacInnis, the lawyer for Broder's siblings told the court she had been in contact with a lawyer representing a man in Montana man who claimed he had purchased the antlers.

MacInnis said the antlers were sold last May for $171,000 US. Tests are planned to prove the rack in Montana is the Broder buck.

A judge has ordered that Broder remain in jail until he tells the court where the money went.

Justice Myra Bielby also said she would report the new developments to the justice minister. Broder and one of his sons could face further charges including perjury and obstruction of justice.

CBC News reported on Tuesday that an American businessman specializing in taxidermy was offered the antlers by someone who said he bought them from Broder.
