B&C and P&Y: Potential Largest Hunter-Taken Whitetail Deer

According to the Boone and Crockett Club and the Pope and Young Club a whitetail buck taken during the 2018 Illinois archery season could be the largest hunter-taken non-typical whitetail on record. Bowhunter, Luke H. Brewster arrowed a buck from Edgar County, Illinois on November 2, 2018.

Shortly after the harvest, photos circulated online stating it had a green score of 311. After the required 60-day drying period and consultation with both scoring organizations the official entry score of 320-5/8 confirmed that it is only the 5th hunter-taken non-typical whitetail to exceed 300 inches in history.
