OFFICIAL STATEMENT: Tennessee's Super Non-typical Whitetail Deer

Not a season goes by that word doesn't circulate on yet another tremendous big game animal having been taken in fair chase by a hunter. Some years we're talking about more than one record-breaker, and this year is no exception.

Thus far, two such animals stand out; a typical American elk taken with a bow in Montana that has been verified to be the largest of its kind recorded in the last 48 years, and a outstanding non-typical whitetail deer, that is still pending its final entry score.

On this particular deer, the Boone and Crockett Club has not yet received all the information required to certify the official entry score, making media reports of its ranking premature, however the Club can confirm that the score reported in the media does not surpass the current World's Record non-typical whitetail deer from Missouri, which scored 333 7/8.
