I heard some low life shot it with a bow on 3rd street right by the coke plant. Rumor has it that it hung around Missoula for several years and actually has declined a bit. My buddy saw it a couple years ago by the railroad tracks by the mall, where Roscoe steel use to be and he said it was a brute, he wasn't kidding.
It was killed by the coke plant on third street. There were two guys/kids that were picked up by the Fish and Game after numerous complaints. They were both in their 20's I believe. They both got fines and lost their hunting priveledges. I can't remember the amount of the fines...I want to say about 2,000 between them (more to the one who actually shot the deer) and I believe the one who shot it lost his license 4 years and the other 2 years...damn nice deer though. I may have a picture of that deer last year in a backyard of a guy who worked with my dad. Sitting under an apple tree in the afternoon.

Sorry to pull up an old thread, but I was really familiar with this deer. He was by no means in regression, was only a five or possibly a six year old deer.
The numbers I heard were 36" outside spread and just a smidge over 200" gross. He's supposed to be mounted and displayed at the region 2 headquarters in Missoula.
Here's a picture I took the summer of '06.

It is sad some folks get a thrill like that. 3 years ago here in shoshoni WY we had a local antelope buck that lived on our and nabors lawns. 2 high school kids killed him when bow season opened. Lucky a nabor saw then do it and reported them.. The antelope come in my yard and eat crab apples, and I leave the gate open for them.. It is much easier and raking them up.
