Its good to see a regular person get a deer like this.
Congratulations to Kevin and his boys.

Congrats, that is truly magnificent.
My team has hunted Nebraska the last 3 years and every year the white tails are getting better.

Thats a great deer.
Here are some other good deer from a couple years. There are alot bigger ones not on here.

You know it's a big rack when it takes 3 guys to hold it up. Congratulations!

Whew! Nice one. Congratulations on a fine buck.

I would love to see one like it on the hoof....through my scope of course.

Love the background – astounding how rare a true 200" typical really is. Guess it's time to stop passing the 170s :)

Heres another one.

To Dave Maccar...thanks for clarifying the status of the Smith Buck. I must have the older B&C book that has the asterisked Smith buck in it. Several additional points:

First, to state the most important point, this is a rare and fabulous typical rack. Absolutely worthy of magazine headlines and all the attention it is receiving. Secondly, Boone & Crockett is a fabulous organization whose principled record-keeping is of immense value in understanding trophy whitetail history.

But...if the above is the standard (panel-scored, permanently certified, etc.) then the Petrzilka buck will not meet the standard for several years, if ever. Panel scores have substantially changed the preliminary typical scores on many occasions. And similar headlines have been splashed in magazines for several bucks over the years that have either not stood the test of time or were never formally entered for whatever reason.

The point is...the Petrzilka buck MAY be the biggest USA typical Booner in 39 years. But, like the Smith buck apparently turned out, it may not. Similar headlines for the Smith Buck didn't pan out, did they? Therefore, your headline should reflect the preliminary nature of the possibility.

At any rate being too picky on these details is not my goal It is a wonderful rack. Thanks.

haha,looks like my buck I shot...

Congrats, B&C official or not, its real, its legal, it goes in my book!

That is a beautiful deer, but I have spoken with dozens of Game and Parks people, and they confirm that they may have been the only buck in the entire state. It really is too bad, I would have liked to have hunted a buck in Nebraska. But alas, there aren't any more. Check Iowa-I hear they have TONS of 180+ class deer, lurking behind every single blowdown.
