Here Comes the Bride
Giant Indiana buck isn’t second place in everything.
The year Jackie Robinson signed with the Brooklyn Dodgers, breaking Major League Baseball’s five-decade color barrier, a doctor from Natchez, Miss., shot a Louisiana buck that would not be seriously challenged for 66 years.
The gnarly whitetail taken in 1947 by the late Dr. Joseph Shields didn’t get its rightful designation as a world record until 1999, when it was measured on the kitchen table of its third owner (now the late Logan Sewell).
I was in Indiana back in May, measuring an enormous rack on another kitchen table. It wound up with a composite score of 315 2/8 inches identical to the Shields Buck’s. But since the Louisiana deer had a slightly narrower inside spread meaning more of its tally was derived from actual antler the challenger’s official score fell 3 2/8 inches short of unseating it.
