Watching hunting show over weekend and they were talking about number of 200 plus inch typical deer killed. As of 2009 there were 16 entered with Boone and Crockett Club. Sach. Canada had most (6 entered) Illinois had 2 entered. Iowa had 1. Interesting that Texas had -0- and of course Indiana has -0-. Can't remember name of show, but was on Outdoor's channel. I am assuming information was correct. Guess I kinda thought there might be more than 16. FYI

200" typical whitetail = the holy grail of whitetails..
Usually when they get that big they start growing lots of sticker points.. thus becoming NT.

Yea makes sense. Suppose there are alot more non typical for that very reason. Thought it was interesting.

As woody said, 200" deer are rare as hen's teeth. Usually when you hear that figure it is a gross measurement including nontypical growth. 200" net typicals are so unusual as to be nearly unheard of. As you noted, they always come from other places, though they are rare there as well. I think the record book holds around 12 or 13 net 200" deer. Brian Damery's illinois deer grossed a staggering 231" typical and was a good deal bigger than Milo's deer, killed the same year. The difference as that Milo's was clean and the Damery deer had a bunch of stickers that took 30" off the score.

I scored a 198" typical a few months back from Southern Indiana and that thing was an absolute giant, and will never be entered into the book by the farmer who found it. 200" typical is a giant by anyones standards. Absolutely unbeleivable.

at last count Indiana only had a total of 65 bucks scored in the books that went over 200 in Non-typical. Compared to our neighbors that is well less than half of their 200 plus.

120lbs??? Why is he shooting bambi?  Wont get more OT than I started but THIS GUY........this is not a joke, ALSO has 350 (not a misprint) lb does that he "leaves for seed" in his area. Even worse is I know people that BELIEVE HIM. (and yes he lives and hunts in the same IN county I do so he isnt mistaking an elk for one (and even then it would be a nice cow elk.) I EVER get to see anything CLOSE to 200 inches (forget 350lbs) I'll run out of ammo before it's out of range......even if it's bow season. FULL automatic!! A buddy has one 160 1/8 and I just sit and stare at that mount.......drooling. Not much of a "trophy" hunter per se but I appreciate that class of deer regardless. I wouldnt buy that fish story , DeweyDutchman......5lbs is a pretty nice bluegill for here. ;D |

the 6 mile buck it is BREW. That deer surpasses the current state record. What a shame to have been wounded and not recovered until months later.

What does that have to do with anything? Illinois is maybe a third bigger than us, yet produces way more giant deer. By that logic, Colorado and Wyoming should produce a lot more trophy deer than Indiana, right? They're bigger..... |

KY and TN I believe are smaller?? And where did you find that info??I feel that in this particular dialog you are simply splitting hairs. As the states that produce the most 200 plus bucks or record book bucks are not that much largest than our state and tend to have more big town and cities aside from KS and IA. |

Absolutely unbeleivable. YOu make a great point, will never be entered. I was told by the local butcher if I shot a book buck to say it came from another county. Saw a 197" 14 pointer there one time, it never made it into the book. Most will enter, but some will not because of the publicity it might get. Not all people want that stuff, good or bad.... |
