Big 8-point bucks are rare. It takes a lot for one to make it over 140 inches. An 8-pointer in the 150s or 160s is a true feat. But when they grow even bigger, and reach the 170s, 180s, or 190s, it’s truly something to see.
Yes, we know the title says "Biggest Whitetail Bucks," but we didn't want to deprive you of this giant velvet muley. When Keaton Artherton started getting pics of the buck last June, he knew the buck had potential. Then the buck disappeared for over a month, and when it reappeared at the end of July, the buck’s rack had positively exploded.
Protein: Bucks require a high-protein diet (around 16%) during the spring and summer antler-growing season to achieve optimal growth. Younger deer require an even higher percentage of protein for their developing bodies. Minerals: Key minerals like calcium and phosphorus are critical for building dense, strong antlers.
I’ve killed 2 bucks with a bow in a season one time in 40 years of bow hunting. The harvest of a second buck with a bow was historically insignificant. But then the MDC told us that crossbows wouldn’t influence the “archery” harvest rate and simultaneously took away the option of a second archery buck (in addition to a firearms buck).
It’s amazing that bucks killed more than 100 years ago are still holding onto the top spots in the ranking. Let’s take a look at the 10 biggest Typical Whitetail Deer ever killed by hunters. Inside this article, you’ll learn the score of each whitetail, as well as the location.
Sure it does. Its a unicorn. My beloved indiana reduced buck harvest , people still high grade 🤣 🤣 😁 Of course they still high-grade, just far less than when they could shoot a marginal buck and still keep shooting bucks. The FACT here is, as I stated for years, the average buck in Missouri will be 150+ if it lives to 5.5 years old.
