Cy Curtis Typical and Non-Typical Records
Typical Cy Curtis Record!
A 12-point whitetail taken in November, 2007 by deer hunter John Ehmer from Tuskahoma is the number one typical deer in the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation’s Cy Curtis Program Record Book.
The buck, which was harvested during the regular deer gun season, scored 194 and 0/8 Boone and Crockett (B&C) points. The buck grossed 202 1/8 B&C points. The deer was taken in southeastern Oklahoma near Clayton in Pushmataha County.
“I knew he was big when I saw him,” Ehmer said. “I was on my way to look at a place that I wanted to hang my stand for the next morning. All of a sudden he came running past me and he just stopped and turned around. I was simply in the right place at the right time.”
Non-Typical Cy Curtis Record!
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.
