Nontypical Buck
No i don't expect to shoot a deer that big. There just isn't deer that big around here.I shot a 150" buck and my grampa said it was the biggest deer he had seen taken around here.

I think it will come from Kansas, Illinois,Indiana, or Ohio. My biggest to date is 169 1/8 gross in Illinois I hope to kill a 190 but I will not hold my breath because those are few and far between

Ohio will be the record holder... not only because of me being a homer but the Beatty and Jerman bucks come to mind
I don't ever plan to shoot a monster buck unless i go on a canned hunt which is highely unlikely. Would i like to, of course, who wouldn't but i'd be happy with a nice 10-12 point to go on the wall, i'm not picky. I wanted to put my first deer on the wall, it was a doe but i figured i'd be laughed at for mounting a doe.
Grow some nuts kiddo!! Who cares what people think. My first deer was a doe fawn and she's on the wall. Damn proud of her I am.ORIGINAL: AmateurHunter44857

I know we have 200" bucks around. I've never seen one but the old Minnesota state record Archery Non Typical was taken 5 miles from my place and another huge non typical also a few miles away was shot in gun season that scored in the 230's. I'd be happy with a 170" buck, I think its a goal I can achieve.

I'm fairly young, if I ever own enough property to manage what I'd like to I'd certainly plan to shoot a 190+ or 240+, that's a few iffs though. Though with more and more people managing property, I can only assume the avg buck size is going to continue to grow. I'm gonna say yes, I plan to, though until then I'd be happy with a 150/160+

i plan on getting close. a 240" non typ would be euphoric!! i doubt that'll happen but i'm planning on getting some nice racks on the wall at some point

Planning on killing a 190" buck is like planning on winning the lottery. You could be waiting for a long time. I've killed several real big deer and in my opinion some of my smaller bucks were more rewarding. Don't let inches of antler drive you. It can drive you to disappointment if you let it.
