Nine heads of more than 200 inches, three potentially record-setting deer, and a possible world record. This is the biggest sum of money a hunter will get in 2021
By: Scott Bertul | Updated 6:07 PM, December 14, 2021
When I sort out this review every year, I think we can't exceed last year's. Then we do. As usual, we have some atypical products over 200 inches and rough on this list. But what makes this year's edition so special is the number of typical whitetails of 190 and above, some of which I remember most in recent years. With such huge antlers, a stag will rarely push it into the atypical category without growing kickers and dropped prongs. To give you a taste of how rare it is, one of my B&C scorer partners described the first money in this gallery (Dustin Hoff’s Indiana Behemoth) as "a typical one that only appears every three years or so." one."
Of course, those typical big whitetail fish are not the only monsters lingering below. We have huge velvet mules, great 8s, crazy cactus stags, and a bunch of other crooks to prove that it is true just when you think deer hunting can't get better.
One of the most difficult challenges in all whitetail hunting is to mark stags over 200 inches as typical. Dustin Huff's incredible Indiana Bucks can not only do this relatively easily; it is also expected to become a new Indiana record, a new world record crossbow deer, and it may Overtake the Jordan Deer and become the second place in the B&C record book, second only to the famous Saskatchewan giant of Milo Hansen. Huff's huge 6X6 has everything-quality, soaring height and symmetry, all of which can lead to a final net score of close to 208 inches. Read the full story here.
The retired MLB slugger and Hall of Famer Jim Thome is known for his outstanding performance when the situation demands it. He used this calm posture under pressure to challenge the Bucks he has been chasing for three seasons. Deadly shot. Thome's giant in Illinois is a 5X5 host with several anomalies. It is said that the total green box office revenue is 226 inches, which is likely to be the country's highest grossing typical model this fall. Read the full story here.
When Holden Torres and his hunting partner Austin Bass drew a pair of Kansas non-resident archery tags, they traveled a long distance from their home in Louisiana in July to reconnaissance and Get permission. This extra effort paid off in November, when the two returned to their original path. Bass scored a 155-inch 8-pointer on the first day. Not to be outdone, Torres shot this 6X6 monster with an arrow. The monster's green total score was 199⅜. "Honestly, when I walked towards the Bucks, I was speechless," Torres recalled. "He looks like a dinosaur. To be honest, I don't think I have the opportunity to make this kind of money in my life." Read the full story here.
It is rare to just see a B&C grade 8 score; it is another matter to meet a person many times and then kill him. Jordan Smith saw this incredible Kansas Buck from a stand near an old oil rig within a week. Multiple accidents (including an oil rig worker inspecting the rig while working on a pressure reduction) seemed to prevent him from making a deal, until Smith sneaked into his booth on the last day of his hunt to sit down briefly and eventually marked the monster. The green blank 183-4/8-inch main frame 8 is equipped with a 6⅞-inch base, a 25-inch main beam and a 12-inch G2. Surprisingly, the mass at the end of the main beam is even thicker than the base, reaching 7 inches.
After making a fortune in Oklahoma's early muzzle loader season, Zach Meadows still took two other large-dollar trail photos on his property: the 180-level Atypical and larger bucks. Meadows went on a bow hunt on November 3, when 180 appeared and was walking within the range of the bow and arrow. Meadows hesitated, thinking that one day someone bigger might give him a chance-but he didn't know that day. When 180 looked at the timber and posed, Meadows followed the buck's gaze and saw the monster walking towards him. Meadows was shot very well on a 5X5 mainframe, with a total box office of 210 inches in green. Although the Bucks have a lot of stickers, the scorer said it has a chance to break the state's 188⅝-inch bow kill record. Read the full story here.
Kevin Christoph, DNR conservation manager in Wisconsin, only needs 5 acres of land and a canoe to mark one of the best examples of Badger State ever. Well, plus forest skills and determination. This avid hunter rowed across a river, called "Hector" for his neighbor, and squeezed out multiple seats for a dollar. All efforts paid off on October 28, when the giant deer walked out of the cornfield and entered the 5-acre woods where Christopher was hunting. After a few tense moments, the Bucks finally gave Christoph a bargaining chip and fell over after sprinting. With an unofficial green net score of 196⅞ inches, the Bucks should break the state's crossbow model record (currently 179⅞") and be among the best models ever in Wisconsin. Read the full story here.
Chris Lyon of Minnesota knew that there was a huge sum of money near him; the monster whitetail appeared on his camera about every year. "He doesn't seem to spend much time on our property," Lyon said. "But just before the youth season this fall, I took a few photos of him." Lyon took his son Zell to a blind man, overlooking a nearby food area in the opening remarks, when Mufasa appeared and walked away. When entering the shooting range, Zell's summer shooting practice was immediately put to the test. Zerl has achieved good results in three well-positioned shots and marked the 197-4/8-inch giant who has let the regional hunters slip for at least three seasons. Read the full story here.
Only 40 typical whitetail deer meet the minimum requirement of 170 inches required to qualify for the B&C record book, but if Keith Marquardt enters his 2021 Kansas Bucks, the elite group may have another member. "I first saw him in July, when I was out driving, scouting and looking for deer," Marquardt recalled. "That summer, I saw him 12 times and got some good photos and videos about him. The last time I saw him, he was in a place where I thought I could get permission, and I was able to do it. One point. I hung up the camera and didn't take a picture of him until November 5th, the day I harvested him." Marquardt’s towering 8-point green net 179-4/8. "This summer, he had a big tine on his right side. After I killed him, another hunter who was hunting him showed me some pictures of him; the dollar kept falling until October 6, but It stopped falling for some time after that."
Last summer, when Mark Blinga and his father Mike checked the tracking cameras, they immediately saw a huge stag on the left. "We didn't figure it out right away, but after a while we realized that it must be a dollar that I had thrown in the year before," Mark said. "He has grown into a very strange side on the other side of the injury." Although the Bringa clan hopes to meet the giant deer, it is a challenge to hunt him down. "We have pictures of him scratching in October, but it's always at night," Blinga said. "On the opening day of the gun season, one of our people came down from his stand and was terrified. After that, we kind of thought it was all over. But when I walked into my stall next Saturday, I was in the field. Spotted him and a few pigeons. The rack was not wrong. He entered 175 yards and I used the Savage 220 bolt action, and the accuracy was far beyond this range. I managed to settle down and shoot-this time I heard it The bang when you were hit. I know I have him." Buringa's money spread quickly. Buringa is a sophomore in college. He was a state champion wrestler in high school (a feat in wrestling Minnesota), but he was not ready to receive attention after shooting. "This is more important than winning," Blinga laughed.
"This Buck will almost disappear from my farm after he takes off the velvet, so when he reappears this summer, I think he will repeat the pattern he has shown in the past three seasons," Drew said. However, when he began to obtain photos of the hard antlers of the stag in September, the professional whitetail hunter was pleasantly surprised. "He did seem to disappear around September 30th, I think we are here again." Then, on October 6th, he took a photo of him on one of his carrot plots and decided to give it a try. try. "When he appeared, I was very surprised." Du Rui said. His total income of squandered money was 216⅝ inches, the second largest in his history.
Some huge bucks flew under everyone's sight until they were killed, but Greta Yira's big 6X6 luckily survived year after year. Ira said: “We call him'Tank Hank'. He has survived two archery attempts in the past few years and was hit by a car in early 2021.” “We have been shooting on the camera for 4 years, but He was never seen during the day until he walked up to me during the gun season, about 70 yards from our last tracking camera photo of him. I was lucky to be only a few minutes away from where the Jordan Bucks were hit. Take down a legend in minutes-this is really an unforgettable hunt of a lifetime." Yira's wide and huge income reached 195-⅛ inches.
When Cort Travis and his friends were allowed to hunt on 80 acres of land near the school, they immediately got photos of a few dollars, including a palm-shaped giant that could make any hunter dizzy. The problem is that Travis is not only a full-time student, but also a part-time job, so finding hunting time is a challenge. Nevertheless, Travis was able to spend every afternoon hunting during the Muzzle Loader season in Good Morning State in late October. On October 29, the giant appeared just outside the property line, and then followed a doe into Travis's land and into the range of the muzzle loader. The 22-point beast has a green score of 213 inches. The left side is palm-shaped, drooping, and has a large number of stickers.
Bessie Schommer grew up in a hunting family and has been an enthusiastic deer hunter for many years. But this fall she didn't have much time to hunt with her father and decided to change it on a beautiful November afternoon. "I know my father didn't hunt that afternoon, so I asked him to go with me," Schommer said. "We haven't hunted together throughout the fall. I want to stay with him for a while. We are a hunting family. This is just something we do together, and I have always enjoyed it." Although Schommers has a few huge photos on their Pierce County property A picture of the dollar, but the money has not yet appeared during the day-but this situation is about to change significantly. "We were sitting on a food plot and watching a fawn walk in and feed," she recalled. "Then I looked up and saw the horns come in!" Schommer told her to stay calm-she had only shot another stag before-and shot a level 190 stag with her crossbow. Read the full story here.
"The third stem is charm," Tessa Taylor said of her pursuit of the sunflower state monster mule. Before she could slip into the Bucks' crossbow range, Taylor had two encounters with the Giant Deer-including a 75-yard shot miss. "After several hundred yards of belly crawling, I was finally able to get close to him, and some people did," she recalled. "A few hours passed, just sitting and waiting. Finally, he stood up and I could shoot him. He shot me 70 yards with my Ravin crossbow, and this time I succeeded. I am the deer in 2021. Ji feels extremely excited, grateful and proud." Taylor's generous mule had a gross box office of 200 inches.
Jeremy Brower has enjoyed 12 seasons of deer hunting, but still has not put his label on the white-tailed deer with antlers. Brower rented a 45-acre piece of land in 2018, took a few photos and passed some small money, but Hugh was still waiting for the money he wanted to hang on the wall. Well, Brower's patience paid off on November 13, when he looked at a doe in the field in front of him, he found a good stag hundreds of yards away. Although the stag slipped into the woods, a few minutes later, the deer appeared again and was already within range. Brauer managed to raise the gun and shoot at the already alert stag. The huge 6X6 had a gross box office of 185 inches and broke a pair of tines that could easily push the score up to the 190s. "Honestly, I don't care," Brouer said. "It's incredibly beautiful, and I'm lucky." Read the full story here.
The Wisconsin bowhunter Tristan Mueller only has 8 (yes, 8) acres available, but that did not stop him from shooting arrows this fall. Mueller said: "I was able to put a bunch of things on a few food plots, and once they started to come into heat, the stags started to appear." Tracking and shooting an arrow with my bow within 50 yards, and watching it fall 40 yards away from me. Shooting such a large piece of money on my own 8 acres of land is an unreal moment and a sense of accomplishment ." Mueller's main frame 6X6 comes with two stickers, and the box office revenue is 178⅝.
Hailey Spence is determined to raise a western Saskatchewan whitetail that she and her father and brother are familiar with. "After capturing him with the camera for a few years, I decided that he would be my target this fall," Spencer said. "He ended up being one of the most patient people I have ever met. When we walked over the cliff in the cold morning, he wouldn't scare us until we were less than 10 yards apart. The money actually allowed I lost five bullets in three consecutive days of missed shots. I finally saw him one morning when he was still in heat. This time I did it. Without the help of my father and brothers, I couldn’t do it. This point." The total buck score was 173⅝.
Spencer still carried the mule deer rifle tag and went out with my friend. The two hunters found near the gravel pit the high fangs of a huge stag that they had never seen before. "With a smooth flow, we got as close as possible to him and settled down. Finally he got up and I leaned on a rock and threw him down with a shot. One cool thing that we noticed when we walked over was , He was still wearing velvet strips at the beginning of November." Her mule roughly scored 171⅝.
A large number of roosters is just one of the benefits of hunting South Dakota pheasants; you may also find world-class whitetails. Last fall, Mike Beadle (Mike Beadle) did just that when he saw a huge stag while chasing birds. Beadle hung up the trail cam in early summer and focused on the stags, and then started hunting monsters in the first week of the archery season. On September 12, when the stag walked into the bow and arrow shooting range, Bearle was placed in the shelter forest. In addition to the tangles of the fence line, the Bucks have 26 points that can be scored, including double-falling tines. Monster Green’s total income is 218⅞ inches and net income is 209⅞, which places it among the top three atypical players killed by bows and arrows in the state record book.
Brandon Wikman, a Wisconsin hunter, traveled to Kansas to start his 2021 season with their early muzzle loader season. On the first night, a tall 9-pointer appeared and Wikman killed him after just 2 hours of pursuit. Kansas buck Green has a total box office of 174 inches, as shown in the lower left of the collage above. The hunter does not have to wait too long for his Wisconsin Bucks. With the arrival of Leng Feng, he sneaked into a place he knew was close to a beautiful stag bedding. "I sat in the stands for no more than 20 minutes, and then I killed him at 20 yards." The stag roughly scored 150 inches and was located at the bottom right.
Then Wakeman turned his attention to Illinois to attend their opening ceremony on October 1. "The stag in my mind is called an'All-Star' nearby, but considering his unusually unique set of eyebrows, I just call him'Brows'." The stag has been feeding brassica on a semi-consistent basis. Genus of plants. "It was rainy and rainy the day I went to kill. He walked 42 yards and there were a few." Wikman's shooting percentage is very high, and the Bucks Green's total income is 187-4/8. This is the typical towering top of the collage.
Saskatchewan teenager Audrey Ediger and her father first spotted the stag in late August, and they scout the monster every morning and evening until the opening day. The 14-year-old Eddie said: “Before hunting on Sunday, I spent the first three days of the bow season at school. We found the stag that we had been observing, and then started walking through the rape field. After finding the sprayer track , We followed it to within 35 yards, then settled down and waited." This is a long time. "Finally, four hours later, the Bucks stood up and browsed to within 30 yards. I let the arrow fly!" Audrey used the Diamond Edge 320 compound bow to kill her velvet giant. The total green box office was 251- 4/8 B&C, will be among the top velvet mules killed in the province.
Our friends at Outdoor Life told the story of Benny Overholt's incredible Georgia cactus stag. Overholt actually passed it on in 2020. This year he noticed in his tracking camera photos that the deer never took off its velvet because the shelf became bigger and crazier. In September, bowhunter got his chance and achieved perfect results. It will be difficult to score, but there is news that it will exceed 200 inches.
"I feel very humbled by the whole experience, and feel very lucky and honored, because I happen to be an archer who captures such an incredible animal," Overholt told OL. Read the full story here.
