#Milo hanson buck Patch#

“The only bad part about shooting the buck was that I smoked again for another 5 years.” (I thought that was one of the best lines from our interview and so I included it in the first draft of the show but the network had us cut it out for the final, not PC I suppose.) Milo, who hadn’t smoked in years, was shaking, and he asked a buddy for cigarette. Milo walked up to the new world record and, “I just couldn’t believe it.” His buddies came over to see the deer–“none of us could believe the size of it.”

#Milo hanson buck Patch#

“He staggered and ran into a patch of brush I ran up there and shot him again.” They jumped him again, and, “I was just lucky that he came out on my side.” Milo fired and hit the buck high in the back. The buck got away, and they kept pushing in the new snow. “He looked like an elk, to this day I still have that image in my mind.” With one guy pushing the bush and the others flanking and posting, they jumped the buck and Milo got a glimpse of him. He got Milo and a small group of hunters, and “we devised a plan to push him out.” It was 1993, and the big buck had been seen several times, “he was known around town.” On Monday night it snowed, and the next day a guy saw the buck go into patch of willows. Here are excerpts and snippets of what he told me my entire interview with Milo aired on BIG DEER TV last fall:

It had always been a goal of mine to see the world-record typical buck in person, and hear the story from Milo himself. I saw this great picture yesterday and it reminded me of the visit I made to Milo’s house in Saskatchewan one day in November 2013.
