Default RE: The Next Typical World Record?

There are a few out there, but the difference between 200" and 220" is huge. People take 200" deer every year across north america, but add that extra 20" and the air really gets thin.

I have to disagree about those deer never being seen. I can only speak about places like IA, but here there are just too many people ( berry pickers, all kinds of hunters, trappers, horseback riders, random motorists, farmers etc....on every peice of property for a deer that big to NOT be seen. Hense, word gets around. There are no vast forested areas here. The Albia buck was known all over the state before it was harvested, I saw footage of it.

That being said, I know of a few rumors currently in the state, but maybe all they are are rumors and generally they are exagerations.
