#1Missouri: World Record Whitetail Deer
Score: 333-7/8
Year: 1981
Plenty of deer give hunters heartburn, and the deer you’re about to read about became a real pain after it died.
In early November 1981, David Beckman met game warden Michael Helland along a road in northern St. Louis County, Missouri. Beckman asked Holland to check the deer he killed, saving him a drive to an official check station. Helland checked the deer, and Beckman drove away. On the drive home, Beckman spotted a dead buck lying inside a fence along the road. Most folks aren’t going to stop for any old deer, but Beckman saw this was anything but an ordinary deer.
Beckman received permission from the landowner to retrieve the deer, but the state of Missouri took the deer, whose rack weighed more than 11 pounds. Curiously, it had few tee

The most renowned record in all of seeking is, without question, the planet record typical whitetail buck, held by Milo Hanson. He killed the buck in November 1993, which means that if it survives this fall, it will see a 30-year anniversary.
What’s almost as remarkable as the deer itself (which scored 213 5/8) is how it has stood the test of time. In the nearly 30 years since it was killed, only one other deer has even show up close to the Hanson buck. That deer was killed last year in Indiana by Dustin Huff. It scored 211 4/8.
The next biggest buck of all time is legendary James Jordan buck (206 1/8), which was killed in Wisconsin in 1914. In fact, since 1993 there have been only six usual whitetails that scored over 200 inches, according the Boone & Crockett Club record books. Meanwhile, the nontypical record has been broken several times in the last few decades.
A decade ago, Hanson predicted the next earth record whitetail would come from the Midwest, likely Iowa or Wisconsin. But now
Exclusive Video: Dustin Huff Buck Ranked as No. 2 Typical
March 24, 2022 Update: We posted the story of Dustin Huff's gigantic Indiana typical to the Realtree Rack Report back in mid-February. Yesterday, the Huff Buck's net entry score of 211 4/8 was officially accepted by the Boone & Crockett Club's Giant Game Records, according to North American Whitetail.
What's that mean? For now, the Huff Buck ranks as the No. 2 all-time largest typical whitetail in the world, second only to Milo Hanson's World Record 213 5/8 buck, taken in Saskatchewan in 1993. That also makes it the largest typical whitetail ever taken in the Joined States, and certainly the largest typical buck ever taken with a crossbow.
To dethrone the James Jordan Buck (206 1/8) and officially be recognized in the B&C records as the second-biggest typical of all moment, the Huff Buck will include to be panel-scored by Boone & Crockett judges, an event that won't happen until after B&C's 32nd Big Game Awards Period ends in 2025.
Still, whitetails of this caliber don't walk past treestands often, and typicals are the rarest of them all. Odds are, the Dustin Huff Buck is the world-record runner-up, and will st
Who doesn’t love big bucks, especially big typical whitetail bucks that break records?
The Johnny King Buck
The Big Buck Club announced today that the Johnny King Buck from Wisconsin is the recent World Record Typical Whitetail (gross scoring) buck of all hour. On April 13, the bucks final scoring came in at a gross 221-6/8 beating the Milo Hanson buck from Saskatchewan.
A panel of one Boone and Crockett scorers, one member of the North East Big Buck Club, and the official scorer who first scored the register in question scored the buck together. The Northeast Club mainly consists of entries from the east to mid-east but it also includes deer throughout North America. They celebrate all deer no matter where they approach from. Another buck of interest is the Ronnie Stevens buck.
Our goal is not to argue Boone and Crockett. Our purpose is to be consistent with the rules of a gross-scoring club, in which there is no over-emphasis on symmetry. Symmetry is purely related to net scores.
Scoring varies between both clubs as they each have their own scoring system, but they are very close in criteria.
