Here you go boys and girls. A little inside scoop. This deer was scored last night by a very tenured Boone and Crockett Scorer. The deer NETS 309 7/8". This may not be the offical book score if he gets panel scored but should be close. He was shot in Huntington County with a shotgun. Don't know much more other than this is legit from what I know! Don't know the hunters name but I can assure you his life is about to change.

I did see a pic a couple of times for a big non typical shot around the huntington area........ill see if i can get it and post it!

That thing is Ginormous

Joe this deer going to be at Indy next week???

i'm from huntington county and this is the cell pic that was floating around about that buck

my buddy said he heard it had 19 scoreable points and was around 200" fyi.........let the games begin

Actually 37 scoreable points.

I am not aware of this deer being at the show. I'm sure we would make room for it if the owner offered to bring it.

Heck of a buck, Zolton Dobsa's non typical of 254 1/8 has held the number one spot since 1977!

Long time coming to break the record........

If that score holds won't that be the biggest hunter killed whitetail ever? Isn't Tony Lovestuen the biggest now at 307+?

Panel Score.........here we come........

Good Gracious what a buck...... Brings back memories. Huntington County was the County I had my first archery kill in. Saw some monsters back in the day also in that county....but I didn't have a clue what to do about it......

From what I have been told, you are right Fullrut!

A deer from little old IN being the biggest ever!

My hope is someone pulled the jaw and gets an age estimate on the deer.

Indiana has always had the potential for this type of deer all it/they need is "time". We are making progress in Indiana slowly but surely.

If the score holds up we will be seeing this deer on several magazine covers. I hope he took a boat load of photographs at the scene as well as later photo ops.

Again if anyone is fortunate to kill a deer of this size(typical or non typical) in todays world it is imperative that it is well documented. That way no "stories" begin to muddy the waters.

One more year he would have been a monster!!!lol

Here is a link that currently has the largest hunter harvested bucks on record.......

Largest bucks ever link

If this hunter does it right this buck will be his new job.

Potentially the largest non-typical buck killed by a hunter anywhere, anytime....killed...in Indiana.

Not Iowa, Not Ohio, Not Illinois....but Indiana.....

Congrats to the hunter and looking forward to reading his story.

Good one... ....+1 for the Youth

Here is a county map of Indiana... "Huntington County" is in North East


And the Zolton Dobsa's non typical of 254 1/8 has held the number one spot since 1977 and never scored by B&C!!!

I am a truck driver and I drive all over Indiana with the exception of the southeast.I have seen alot of big bucks.I had to do some hardcore manuvering to miss hitting the biggest buck I have ever seen on the southside of Muskatatuck 2 years ago.But I would have never guessed a monster like that from Huntington county.

Another view. Also appears to be somewhat of a frontal/lower neck/high chest shot...

No deer in Huntington Co, everybody knows that! h.h.

+1 im happy when i see a track!

Good grief what a buck...

No kidding...

Yep, and not good news for the guys who don't like leasing. Ground next to the last Ohio, "Highland county monster" record caliber deer tripled in price and what wasn't leased became leased.

Hopefully guys in the area have good relationships established with property and landowners.

Things in Huntington County (and Indiana) will be very different from here on out.....

Word on the street is that this deer ran off the Salamonie Reservoir property then was shot!!!!

WoW a would be "PUBLIC LAND" Deer....Yikes

All the locals i have spoke with about this deer said it was shot around the Rousch lake area!

Let the games begin.... :rolleyes:

On "another site" that I frequent, one of the regulars there (who writes for a major deer hunting magazine), said he knows who scored it and that the 309 7/8 score is legit.

Unbelievable, any wagers on the illegal stories brewing? All over North America. Does this mean everyone will be flocking here now bothering us trespassing?

I know the scorer as well and I consider it legit. I wouldn't have posted if I didn't.

I have to say this site has been very professional with this story. I posted this on ODMA as well and man did the disbelievers come out of the woodwork.

It is still hard to believe he scores that high but the info I have received is 30" beams, 24" inside and mass measurements all above 5" makes the rack alone score over 100" without any points! 13 point mainframe is very clean side to side with only 10" of deductions meaning 24 points just add to the madness on this big fella!

And another view......

And it gets stranger!

Good Ol' Archery Talk.........Poster Child on how to make "good news" something "evil or twisted" within minutes.......

I hear you on that!

To All:

It would appear that the successful hunter does not want pictures posted at this time, I would ask that we all respect his wishes. I'm not going to delete this post but let's respect his wishes continuing on.

This is a great deer, it is great to see that this site has not started rumors as to the validity of this accomplishment. Good job folks!

I will say I have been told Three(3) bucks from Indiana scoring over 200" will be on display this weekend at the Deer&Turkey Expo. Come out and join us!

Absolutely, excellent kill. Happy for him and will be interesting to see what happens to indiana as far as deer hunting world goes. again beauty!!

Excellent picture of the deer posted by Boone and Crockett on their facebook page.

The scorer that scored it references his kitchen tile squares are 9" to give you a reference for point length etc.

You was the B&C scorer. I believe I know all of them.

Brew you got your hands full on another site, no need to start another whizzin match here......lol.
