What is the biggest whitetail deer killed?

Answer 1

You don't specify black power or long rifle, or if you mean weight or rack score, but according to the Ohio fish and game website there is a new mussle loader state record as well as cross bow. I will add that site to this answer.

edit: The "Beatty Buck" taken in Archery season in Ohio has surpassed all buck scores taken with bow or gun. Any online search for " Beatty Buck" will turn up hundreds of results for this monster 39 point buck taken by a beginning archer.

Answer 2

That depends...What does biggest mean? Heaviest body weight, highest scoring rack (scored by most points and inches/spread of antlers)? Killed by what? Modern gun, muzzle loader, archery, natural causes?

According to Boone and Crockett scoring, the largest "typical" racked whitetail killed by a hunter with a gun scored 213&5/8, killed by Milo N. Hanson in Biggar, SK, Canada in 1993. It was huge 14 point buck with a 27&2/8" inside spread between the main beams.

The largest "non-typical" racked whitetail was found on the side of the road outside of St. Louis, Mo. in 1981. It scored 333&7/8, had 44 points, with and inside spread of 23&3/8" between the main beams.

The largest believed to have been taken by a hunter with any weapon was taken by fifteen-year-old Tony Lovstuen of Albia, Iowa in 2003. The non-typical buck had 38 points, and scored 307&5/8.

Answer 3

The largest muzzleloader deer by antler score were killed in Highland County, Ohio

but I do not think any of the top scored bucks were taken with traditional longrifle, I believe the hunters were using modern inline muzzleloaders from the photos I have seen.
