Default RE: Biggest whitetail buck

Ive seen 2 that were in the 140's if i had to guess, one was a 9 point in texas on my last day of the hunt. He was about 35 yards out but i just didnt feel comfortable with the shot.
The second was a typical 8 thati had scouted out this past early season. He was bedding back in between some houses and would come down one trail most mornings about an hour after light. Well after waiting for the conditions to be perfect, i got all set up and waited. NOTHING! about an hout and a half later, i see a deer coming, then 2, then 3, turns out to be some does, which i had seen come down the trail before on mornings he had come, so i was psyched. I figured they were being fashionably late. Well half hour after that, i hear a twig snap below me and i turn to see its him! He is about 8 yards away quartering away, moving from behind me towards the my front on my left side. SLAM DUNK. I already had him on my wall! Well it was a dead quiet morning with no wind and i drew back and i guess he heard the arrow slide on the rest[:'(]. He bounded off 3jumps and started looking around. He was still 20 yards away broadside, but behind some brush, so i had no shot. Then he walked off. Never saw him again all season.

Other than those 2, i have seen a couple in the high 1teens, maybe one pushing 120, and the largest that came within range was 114 inch 6 point.
