RE: Biggest whitetail buck
While actually siting on standa 180-190" at 80 yards. I also have video of him in a bach. group in late august.
While recovering a buck I shot the previous evening, my father and I jumped a deer that would be in the low 200"......only time any of us have seen that deer.

RE: Biggest whitetail buck
The biggest one I ever was after was a 11 point typical that grossed in the 190s when he was shot. I was after him 2 years but just a second and third year bowhunter so I never really had a chance. The first year I saw him 3 times and knew he went around 180, the second year he was even bigger but I only saw him once, with a 26" spread and main beams around 29". When he was shot that year by a shotgunner he fell down and knocked his left side off completely. The taxi put it back on, but it DQed him from the book.
One I have a pic of is this one. A beast is all I can say, I am sure he was over 180 gross if you include the trash. The sick thing is my stand is right behind him, 20 yards away and I was hunting that day....somewhere else. Only had him around one season, then he dissapeared again for good.
Another buck I have lost sleep over is this one, a 3.5 year old at the time of the photo. I am in awe that I was able to observe this deer, seeing him repeatedly over two years. We will not get into the hunting details[&:]. Then....he dropped off the face of the earth and hasnt been seen since. I knew his distinctive tracks, they dissapeared the second week of october several years ago. He was a huge bodied 12+ pointer w/ huge split brows and a bunch of trash on his bases which would push his gross score around 175 as a 3.5 year old.

I saw a giant about 10 yrs ago while hunting out of state that I would guess was in the 250-300 class nontypical. I never did get a shot at him and saw him a couple times in a three year period. But I did video tape him throu my spotter and that is a piece of video that really gets guys going no matter who I show,even many years later. Huge bladed brow tines in that 13-14 inch range, large 12-14 inchdrops "one side has a big ball on the end. Extremly wide, probably 24 inside with giant long thick beams and to many points to count on each side. To this day itis by far the largest buck I've ever seen on video except for the Albia buck.Then he disapeared and we never saw or heard anything about him again.

And the biggest buck i ever saw was a 140 class 9 point in the headlights of my moms van.
