This is the heaviest whitetail deer ever killed. It broke the 50-year record held by the #2 Spot! This deer is one of the biggest that I have ever seen and one that could hold the record for a very long time!

Hate to have to drag one of those bad boys.

I use to work with few ol'boys every doe was 200 and every buck was 250 plus and every yearling was 150 to 180 …….

The story on Horace Hinkley's deer is a good one. Horace was a pretty old fella when he shot that monster. I believe it was first weighed on unofficial scales before bringing it back after a couple days of hanging and drying, and they got the 355 lbs then. I'll see if I can locate the picture of old Horace standing next to the monster hanging there.

My bigeest ever was a Maine buck, but a mere 225 lbs, dressed, baby...lol.

Shot a Jasper co. Buck that was 240 FD.
Shot an Illinois buck that was 280 FD.

Still these are much, much larger. Wow!

There was a 355# field dressed buck shot in Dougherty or Colquitt County or one of those counties years back. It was in "Georgia's Greatest Whitetails" by Duncan Dobie.

Giants for sure! My largest was 275 on the hoof and seeing his massive size reminded me of all the over estimates folks make on how much a deer weighs.

What about the one Boyd Jones killed in Worth County in 1972 that field dressed 355 pounds?

And one my buddy, the Late Dr. Kenny Waldrop killed on Wiregrass Plantation in Worth County in the early 1980s that weighed 418 pounds on the hoof?

The Boyd Jones buck was the one I was thinking about.

My uncle’s buddy’s cousin killed one well over 500 pounds in twiggs county. It was as big as a Volkswagen and filled up the whole bed of a pick up truck?

For years I weighed all my deer because I got tired of folks over estimated their deer's weight. After weighing about 40 in the last 12 years I think I have a good idea of what one weighs by looking at it.

I have never killed one that broke 200. A mature buck here usually runs around 175.
