Plant pathogenic bacteria cause many serious diseases of plants throughout the world (Vidhyasekaran 2002; Figure 2), but fewer than fungi or viruses, and they cause relatively less damage and economic cost (Kennedy and Alcorn 1980).
Biggest Buck Ever Shot! The mount of this famous whitetail is now part of the King of Bucks collection, which is in the Wonders of Wildlife display at the American National Fish & Wildlife Museum in Springfield, Missouri. The story of the top whitetail ever shot is as great as the deer. When 15-year-old Tony Lovstuen pulled the trigger of his muzzleloader on the afternoon of Sept. 29, 2003, he ended the reign of a buck that already was world famous.
Also during 2001, a new world record archery whitetail (#2 B&C) was harvested in one of Alberta's two famous 'Bow Zones' by resident Wayne Zaft. This deer grossed 222 B&C and netted 208 6/8. In 2003, Trophy Hunters Alberta guide Matthew Beckman harvested a new Alberta record archery mule deer that scored 226 P&Y. Also in 2003, Alberta produced the new world record P&Y archery non-typical elk with a score of 422 4/8 P&Y. The world record Hanson 213 1/8 typical whitetail deer was taken just east of the Alberta/Saskatchewan border in 1993 and broke the former 80 year old world record Jordan whitetail buck record by seven inches.
