40 pt BUCK SHOT IN OKLAHOMA BY 9 YR OLD
Posted by camogirl on January 25, 2008
This was in an email sent to me by a friend. I am trying to track down and verify this story and find out all the details.
The rumor is Cabela’s offered him $150,000 for this buck. If anyone has information on this story……………please email me at thecamogirl@gmail.com or send me a comment!!!
UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!3/13/2008
This is the story that was published in the local newspaper.
On the morning of 10/27/07, my 9 year old son, Baler Dee Stewart,
scored this awesome buck with a 50 cal muzzleloader in Ringling, Oklahoma.
This was his first time to fire this type of weapon. He fired then said
to his dad, Patrick Stewart, “Is this gun on, Dad?” Dad replies, “Yea.”
“Well then, I got him, Dad.”, states Baler.
This deer has not been officially scored. He has 30 points 1 inch or
longer. Out here on the farm, we count the ones you can hang a ring on.
Those total 41 points.
The wire in his horns went missing from my father-in-law’s garden in
September. My husband was accused of tilling it under. My father-in-law
had carefully placed it around his black-eyed peas, because a doe and
two fawns ate them up last year. He was determined to not let the deer
have them. My son seems to think his Papa Harley owes him some bounty
since he apprehended the thief. Papa is willing to deduct the bounty from
what Baler owes him for wire, seeds, fertilze, and labor that was put
forth in the making of this BUCK OF A LIFETIME.
Word got around about the buck that morning before checking him in.
When the buck, my husband, and son arrived at the check-in station, a
crowd greeted them. They were there for about 2 1/2 hours. So many pictures
were taken, my son said it gave him a headache. I’m not sure if it was
the flashes as much as the swelling that made his head hurt.
Great days alive thats a big old buck. If the kid did shoot it, I hope that he realizes that hunters hunt their whole lives after something like that.

Yeah I know the feeling!! Its a great day for our youth to shoot monster bucks, however it may hinder the sport for them when they get older knowing that the chance of them killing something better than a 40 pt buck may never come………
Still I would be tickled PINK to shoot a monster like that!!

He did shoot this buck himself down around Ringling, Oklahoma where I grew up. Talk about the luck!
