Heaviest Whitetail

On a cold November day in 1926, Carl Lenander Jr. dropped a monstrous Minnesota buck with a single shot. Field-dressed, the deer weighed 402 pounds. The state Conservation Department calculated its live weight to be 511 pounds. No heavier whitetail deer has ever been recorded.

VAturkey the butcher said the heaviest he's seen in 5 years in west central Illinois. He weighed 285 field dressed. 300lb whitetails is not at all uncommon up north. I'm 5'11" 200lbs and you can see he dwarfs me. Thanks everyone!
