Top Whitetail Hailed

Hunting

Trophy hunters may have read about the great whitetail buck killed by a Canadian farmer near Biggar, Saskatchewan, in 1993.

But it wasn’t until last week that the Boone & Crockett Club’s judges officially scored Milo Hanson’s buck at 213 5/8 points - the largest typical whitetail recorded by a hunter.

The score eclipses the 80-year reign of the world-record Wisconsin 10-pointer, shot by James Jordan in 1914. The Jordan buck, long believed unbeatable by record-book observers, scores 206 1/8.

Boone and Crockett officials say the value of the world-record whitetail ranges up to $1 million.
