Let's see your biggest ever whitetail

[Hunter53]

Just for fun let's see the biggest whitetail you have ever taken.
Here is mine from 3 years ago.

 

[basinbowhunter]

Here is mine. Texas 2019.
137 inches. If it matched high 140s buck.

 

[CFMuley]

This South Texas buck is really the only decent buck I’ve ever killed. You guys get some of the “artsy” pictures as well because I was working for a hunting show at the time.

 

[12pointer]

Dang Hunter53, that's a stud. basinbowhunter, CFMuley, both of those are great bucks.

 

[12pointer]

My best.

[Hunter53]

Congrats to all of you!

 

[nochawk]

[elkantlers]

1 year ago today. Wish I was back there now.

 

[nmtaxi]

My biggest - public land - 153ish.

 

[257Tony]

My first, and biggest. Kansas spot and stalk on WIHA ground. Ran into a Milo field and died, got permission from the farmer to go get him out.

 

[Huntinfool18]

Not very big compared to your guys but here’s mine from Nebraska. Shot with my custom 270 wby at 907yds. DRT

 

[CFMuley]

For you guys that have killed giants, what do you think the best bet is, for a guy that lives in the West, to get a big whitetail?

907 is a heck of a poke!! Well done!!

 

[Hunter53]

For you guys that have killed giants, what do you think the best bet is, for a guy that lives in the West, to get a big whitetail?

Don't know if mine is considered a giant but to answer your question with what I think for the states I have hunted in. Mine came from NE but I am sure I will never shoot a bigger one; I got really lucky. I have shot a few in the 140-160 range.

First thing would be to be able to hunt private ground that is not hunted too hard in KS, IA and maybe NE. I say private ground as there is not a lot of public ground and what there is gets hunted hard.
Those who do hunt the ground need to be willing to pass on shooting the real nice younger deer.

Getting one in the 140-150 range is pretty common. It is those 180 and up gross score deer are REAL hard to come by unless you own a lot of ground and really control what and how many get shot each year.
This is a mid 140's deer. Can't remember the exact score. He was an old BIG bodied deer that was never going to grow a real big rack.

 

[tailchasers]

Very impressive showing!!! You've done well!!!

 

[12pointer]

That's pretty good for an 8 point Hunter53.

Have you passed up shots In recent years on this buck?

 

[antlerradar]

Have you passed up shots In recent years on this buck?

Didn't have any shots in previous years, Also never put any effort to hunting him. Saw him many times, mostly during archery season and in late December. Gave some serious thought about trying for him with my bow last year but never did. This year he added a bunch of NT points and mass, and I just had to try. Probably one of the top five whitetails I have ever seen.

 

[Stillwater165]

My best Whitey

Got to like the matching NT points on that one.

 

[12pointer]

Yep, always love those non-typical typical points.

 

[Trix4me]

What about this one?

 

[hatchetjack]

My best

 

[twopointdn]

I’m just getting going on the whitetail so I only have two so far but this is my best. I hope to hunt whitetail again next year if everything works out. We have been hunting walk in access areas in Kansas so it is nothing like YouTube but still fun. We are going to try the archery hunt next year and hope for less broken antlers on the bucks. They must fight like crazy out there during the rut, some bucks are not worth shooting because they have nearly broken all their antlers off their heads. Fun stuff.

 

[Bookhead]

My best and only whitetail buck with a bow have 1 bigger I killed with a gun. Wyoming

[redwoood]

I'll share my biggest nontypical and my biggest typical.
Missouri deer.

 

[redwoood]

For you guys that have killed giants, what do you think the best bet is, for a guy that lives in the West, to get a big whitetail?

I've killed my biggest deer in the rut the last 2 years. BUT I had 1 target buck each year and the entire season to hunt smart with archery and rifle to get it done.

I think a late season muzzleloader hunt over standing beans on a well managed property would be the best chance at a giant.

 

[2lumpy]

WOW, very impressive. Both are amazing bucks. Good job really!!

 

[ridgerunner]

Gorgeous bucks from the state of Missouri, wow. This thread is full of great bucks that are making that whitetail itch a little stronger.

 

[antlerradar]

I found this deadhead when I was a kid.
A big one any way you look at it.

Net's 209+ Gross is around four inches better.

[skull]

Few years back, archery

 

[PK_IN_TX]

This buck was killed in the Peace River Alberta area about 3 years ago and almost ties another for largest wt ever killed.

 

[nocwalker]

These are small compared to your Midwest bucks. These are local Pa deer. I hunt these type all season as much as possible. The nice thing about hunting local in suburbia.

 

[wweaver79]

2016 in east TN in a county that has never had a 170 net whitetail ever taken. 177 gross BC 163 net. Nets are for fishing.

My three largest....

On the wall to the left of the bear rug...the one to the right is a Coues buck

 

[Zeke]

Since I’ve been blown away by the fabulous whitetail you guys have killed, I decided I cannot play to the same high level.
So….I’ve decided to share my smallest so you can compare how yours stack up against it. Lol

[DH56]

Net's 209+ Gross is around four inches better.
Public land in 1979.

If he nets around 209 Typical?, you may want to look into it, since that would in the area of top 3 biggest. Milo Hanson's world record is 213 5/8 Typical B&C.

Dang Tri, is he pregnant? I've heard that's possible these days!!

 

[Joe2Kool]

I'm with Zeke. Can't compete with this, but I'll share.

2016 Iowa Public Land. Won't score well because of that funky point on the right. No brow tine on the left, but two broken off on the right.

Nice one Weaver!! I also live East TN, and hunt the mountains. Also got about a dozen trail cams on public and private land. But I don't believe I got a pic of this guy!

You ever frequent TNDeer.com? I'm a regular on there as well.

That would be nontypical

 

[sambo3006]

My best whitetail. Missouri private land. 144" with the broken brow. Would have pushed 150" with it.

 

[sambo3006]

My best public land whitetail. General season SE Montana. Day 7 of a mule deer hunt. No way I was passing up this whitetail stud! I about killed myself packing him out in the dark. Lost my cowboy hat somewhere along the way in some nasty stuff...

 

[SCgman1]

Been a while ago....

 

[SCgman1]

10 years ago.....10 pt/188 which isn't much by most standards on this forum, but on our little 500 acre club it was a big deal at the time........dragging a188 pound deer 150 yds out of the woods mongo style is a bit of a workout.

 

[COPLAINSHNTR]

Not even close to what you guys have posted, but he is my best and also one of my favorites! I hunted hard for 5 days, found him on the last morning and made a 630 yard shot.

 

[bighamr]

My boys MT WT before EHD cleaned em out.

 

[CHWino_1]

Missouri 1994, low fence just really lucky when he trotted across a field in front of me at 150 yards. I knew he was decent, but I lost my **** when I walked up on him. Scores 204 with 27 score able points.

See if you can beat this one:

Good thing you had that 1-ton flatbed hay hauler to get that monster off the field

 

[Iowan]

My favorite archery kills. I have three bucks I have hunted over the past 15 years that eluded me, but I feel fortunate to have interacted with all of these. The one with the blood all over its chest is my favorite.

 

[tex270]

151 and some eights. Off my small ackerage. The one on the left.

My biggest typical IN whitetail.

Here is a photo of mine from above a few months ago when I picked him up at taxidermist. I don’t long arm my photos but no other way I could hold the mount. BTW -Took him with vertical bow on public land. (I scout a lot every year)

Lol, I just got lucky found the right spot the right year. Friend of mine hunted the same tree same dates this season and saw nothing. Didn’t hurt mine was gored blind on driver’s side. You can see in top photo. I’m out scouting 3 new public properties this week and all sucked. Exhausted myself in sunny 60 degree heat just to eliminate these. One more day and I’m done for this “winter”.

See if you can beat this one a buddy of mine shot back in 06, he

still had milk running down his chin!

Just saw this WW79. Nice one for sure! East TN? Hmmm. My stomping grounds.
If I remember correctly, 2016 was the year of multiple brush fires. The whole woods smelled like smoke. Best cover scent ever!
Congrats!

And right before the huge die off. Has still not recovered even close to what it was prior to 2016. Middle and west TN were not hit nearly as bad.
