When it was first measured it was 194-4/8 but the scorer missed a 10 inch measurement.Not sure how you miss that.lol
After being panel scored it became the world record at 204-4/8.
And if ever broken it probably wont be with a recurve.

Old school is right! No advertisements or anything. Back when you hunted for you and you were proud to be called a hunter. Not this pansy ass selfy, look at me bullshit! Oh, and can't forget the shout out to this brand and that brand...and this mineral/food plot/high fence/plastic fucking tree/ozone machine/whatever else that's on the market these days! Back when a mother fugger had to go scouting and shit. You know, boots on the ground and time in the field. I hope this record is never broken. Not to mention, what was the herd like 50 years ago?! This dude and this deer are held to a much higher respect in my book.
Thanks for posting this. It might sound like a rant, but it was more of a moral grounding for me as I go out hunting with my high tech crossbow and scope...I find myself every year going backwards in time with my hunting ethics.

You been drinking again Giles? lmao
I agree with you though Giles. Pretty humbling to think about the smaller herd, basic bows, and less knowledge/studies known about whitetails. This is quite an impressive buck for these reasons let alone the sheer size of the antlers on his head.

Jermans buck is actually tied for the state of Ohio record typical at 201-1/8 which was taken by Bill Kontras with a recurve back in 1986.
Mel Johnsons buck is the world record typical at 204-4/8 shot with a 72#Howatt recurve.
(I can't believe I'm about to say this...) I'm too tired to drink. Thanks for finding that word I was looking for "humbling". Yup, that's the one word to explain this.
