I didn't go thru all 31 pages here...

I am sure someone mentioned that the biggest recorded buck on record was shot in Sterns County MN, and supposedly 425 lbs or so on the hoof, and it was shot with a lever action... likely a 30/30 or 32 Special...

my biggest buck was a whitetail in St Louis County MN, north of Chisholm... weighed about 340 on the Hoof according to the DNR biologist...field cleaned at 265 lbs...

that one was taken with a 444 Marlin...in 1984... at about 30 below zero...
