Tracy Laird of Natchez, MS, is pictured with his magnificent buck which scored well above the 204 0/8 current Mississippi non-typical archery record.  The buck was taken on October 21, 2003.  He has 27 actual points, but Pope & Young givex credit for 24 since it is so palmated.  He looks like a main frame 8 point with a lot of "trash".  His live weight was estimated to be 260-270 lbs, bottoming out the scale at 225 lbs. with his head still dragging the ground.  "Official" Pope & Young Score:  24 scoreable points. Scores 252 3/8 gross and 236 1/8 net.  Once he's officially entered into the State records, he'll be the new #1 archery non-typical.  This deer has been accepted in the record book by Pope & Young.  Below are pictures of the deer after mounting.
