Buck we saw and videoed on our farm 4 years ago. It was the most majestic deer I have ever seen. I know people exaggerate scores but this deer was easily over 170 !!!

Weight: Actually weighed, about 210 pounds field dressed over a decade ago in NE Indiana.
Antler score: Probably nothing worth mentioning.

A 16-18 plus pointer that made my spouse who doesn't give 2 craps about deer hunting or antlers come running back back to the car in a manner that made me think he was having a heart attack telling me to get a phone to call a couple youths and tell them where they needed to hunt. I thought he needed an ambulance.

Biggest Racked deer I ever saw in Indiana 1996 , Newton County, about 5 miles from my house, my brother was enroute to my house and saw it in a field, came and got me because it was so big, by far the biggest racked buck I have ever seen, 200 inch plus easy bone white typical. Looked like an Elk! I have seen and had buddies kill 170 plus bucks so I know what they look like.
Biggest bodied buck was the one I killed with a bow in 2008, 236 lb field dressed 8 pt.

200" typical is a very rare deer.....only 15 entered in B&C all time that equal that mark.

B. Dodd Porter's 195 1/8 was killed in 1985 in Indiana.
That is the closest that a typical Indiana buck has come to the magical 200".
Scarcer than hens teeth I say...

Perhaps there might be a non typical buck that would be a 200+ if scored as typical? Not sure what you mean? We do have at least one non-typical that's main frame is more than 200" but one can not just score the mainframe and disregard all the other points that would be distractions. At least the way I understand it.. I could be wrong though... I was Once....

I don't know. I thought you could choose to enter a buck as typical or non, one or other but not both. I could be wrong. I have been twice, maybe more.

Looking at B&C records, Dave Roberts' Indiana buck was a half inch bigger at a net 195 5/8 but still shy of the magical 200. A *gross* 200 typical would of course be "less rare" but still rare.

Interesting... I was going by the Hoosier Record Buck Book. IIRC the ex number one non-typical was number one In the HRB but was not in the B and C. So one has to wonder which one book is official as state record?

I think you can score it either way but the non-typical points will count against a typical score.. www.boone-crockett.org/pdf/SC_whitetail_typical.pdf

That makes sense. I will defer to you superior record. After all, according to our records, I've been wrong at least twice as many times as you.

There have been a few that score both ways. I phoned a friend about this to clarify. His answer: "There are a few. Most are 185-190 net frames with 10-15" of (abnormals). Rare indeed."

Weight, 232 field dressed.
Width, 12 point that his rack broke off the top of both corn rows he was running between.
Points, 21/24 (can't remember now) that came, the next season, off a property I lost when the owner died. It made the cover of Indiana Game and Fish as the largest Decatur County deer about 12 years ago. The hunter told us the only reason he hung a stand in that tree was because I had one there for 4 years, he would have never hunted that area otherwise. I wasn't amused.

160-170 ish on public ground last year during gun season. We seen each other about the same time. I was walking to an area that I hunt (same area my wife killed her big deer opening weekend) Just seen his tines move in the grown up CRP field, he looked at me and I thought well s&*t. He ran right to the tree I was going to then over the hill never to be seen again.
