A massive, non-typical whitetail deer rack with 24 scoreable
points was officially scored at the Oklahoma Wildlife Expo,
Saturday, August 27, 2005, at the Lazy E Arena. Measuring 248
6/8 inches, the deer was taken by Michael Crossland of
Grandfield and is the new number one Cy Curtis entry.
Crossland took the huge buck in Tillman County which was
previously reported to have 31 points. The antlers were held as
evidence in a court case and Crossland took possession of them
August 2 when the case was dismissed by a Tillman County judge.
The former non-typical Cy Curtis record whitetail, taken in 2003
in Hughes County, scored 240 3/8 and had a total of 29 points.
Crossland’s buck also surpasses the current Oklahoma Boone and
Crockett record non-typical whitetail taken in Johnston County
in 1970 which scored 247 2/8 inches.
