I've seen a buck that MIGHT go P&Y. He MIGHT. If I were to be able to bag this animal......I'd HONESTLY be happy if I never got another one that big. I mean that. I'm also hunting a 3-4-1/2 yr old that's as wide as my coffee table....lol (body girth.....his rack is just.....impressive for HERE).

I just love knowing these guys are out there. It makes me hunt harder......and smarter.

I may not shoot a buck, next year. I mean that, too. Any buck I take from here on out is going on the wall.

I have no idea Troy. By my measure, the Buck of a Lifetime would be the end-all, be-all of whitetail hunting - adeer so gratifying that it would effectively quench your lust tokill a big buck, and seeminglyrelegate you to more "recreational hunting" for the rest of your days.

In my area, (and you know we do a lot of scouting), theCREAM of the cream of the crop is in the 150 range. After an entire summer/fall of spotlighting and scouting, having looked at probably a couple thousand whitetails over the course of a year, we'll see a few that will push 150+, and now that PA's antler restriction program is starting to blossom, we're seeing more quality bucks yearly. But, with 1 million+ hunters in the Commonwealth, those deer are spread pretty thin.

I'm driven by knowing that there's always something bigger, something better. I honestly believe that if I would kill a state record whitetail, I'd be back out there the next season pounding it even harder, just knowing that there's always something bigger, something better, a buck that's yet to be tagged, a record-breaker in the making.

So for me, I don't think such a deer exists. Like Buckeye, I'll probably die tryin' to kill a deer that's bigger than the biggest one I already have. I really wish I wasn't like that, but it's just the way I am, I guess.

10 point with a 23 inch spread and i missed him on the last day of archery season and i havent seem him since my uncle has though. Southwest pa

N.E. Missouri.......180 plus

For Wis. and Ill., The sky is the limit. The Jordan buck and the Johnson buck are proof.

My best is from SE Wis., 14 Points, 181 1/8" gross, 9 4/8" abnormal (190+).
This is a good buck of a life time already, but I keep trying.

A buck of a life time for me in mid GA,where i huntmaby 140-150 although there are quite a few bucks taken each yr that score higher, Even a booner once in a while will pop up in the southern part of the state but around here its rarejust seeing one is rare[&:] thats why a good many of the hunters around that want a chance at a brute will simply pay the money and head up north to where hehas a better chance.

Now that I think about it 200 inches is small around here... There have been three300 class non typicals from Ohio

LMAO 200 inches is just a dink

Southern ILL and and 180-or bigger blew it two years ago!!!! Walt

I am in northwest Ohio and this was what I was thinking. 160 to 180 would be a once in ten years deer for me, and would crap my pants. I am currently in year eight! LOL!! Any thing over 180 and I would pass out before the shot! I think the biggest I have ever seen was about a 140 to 150 at about fifty yards.

I'm in SW PA and when I think of a buck ofa lifetime, I think abouta buckthat is ALMOST unreachable and IMO that's a 160+ buck. Personally my goal is to shoot a 150", that would satisfy me nicely. I feel if I workhard enough at keeping/getting new good places to hunt,I may have a chance at it. Maybe I am smoking crack and I've already shot my buck of a lifetime, but I hope not.
