Sean Blackley of Custom Whitetail Taxidermy (735-7897) out in Middleport/Hartland area sends word that he took in another Niagara County monster into his shop. This deer, which was taken out in the Gasport area by Tom Wagner of Gasport, had 20 legal points, as well as some smaller ones and a broken drop tine. It should have a gross score in the 180s, a non-typical rack with a four by five main frame and huge mass. The deer weighed 202 pounds field dressed.
According to Wagner, he was walking out to a particular area around 8 a.m. last Saturday morning when he heard some deer coming through. Out came a doe followed by this big buck. They all stopped to look at each other in the lane and Wagner took careful aim with his Winchester 1300 — thanks to some new fiber optic sights he had just installed — and recorded a direct hit on the trophy. Right place at the right time with a little bit of luck. How does that saying go? I rather be lucky than good! While it’s the biggest rack he’s even taken, Wagner did shoot a 10-point that weighed in more than 225 pounds a few years ago.
