And, both those big bucks are in the vaunted 200-inch typical whitetail club. But the Jansen and Ewen bucks are in the record books. If you were to line the Jansen, Ewen and King bucks up and ask deer hunters which was the typical that scored the highest, I’d be willing to bet nine out of 10 would pick the King buck. They even appear to have similar G3 issues. See the Stephen Jansen buck from Alberta or the Bruce Ewen buck from Saskatchewan for comparison.īoth the Jansen and Ewen bucks are arguably more on the non-typical side than the King buck.
To be fair, I can see where some of the Hanson buck conspiracies come from. Milo Hanson kept his place as the current world-record holder and Boone and Crockett conspiracy theories began. This led to deductions that knocked the buck’s score down to 180 1/8. That meant the G3 on the other side was now non-typical, too. The panel ruled the buck’s G3 tine was non-typical where it branched off the main beam.
Everyone assumed the King buck would be the next world-record whitetail.īut when the buck went before a Boone and Crockett club panel in Pennsylvania, everything changed. The monster 12-pointer grossed in the 220s and netted over 215 inches when it was first taped by a Boone and Crockett official. For those unfamiliar, in November of 2006, Wisconsin hunter Johnny King shot an absolute beast of a buck on opening morning of rifle season in Grant County, Wisconsin. I first started noticing whitetail hunters talking about a conspiracy in the wake of the Johnny King buck.
