I think a world record could come from any state with whitetails, the midwest in general is a good bet. I have a couple on video from my area here in Missouri that are contenders. It seems there is always a sticker point or drop tine that will knock a buck out. I am after one now "next season" that if he stays clean would surpass 220, I have shown the photo's to many B@C score takers that agreed. I'm going to sit on him like a hen on eggs next fall. I did take a 205 but he was a 9 point and that knocked him out. Seems when a Buck gets 200 or so, trash and stickers are to common. I like Gross score and net just is soooooo tough. !!!
