World-Record Predictor
Will the next Hanson Buck stroll beneath your stand? Our man in the field gives his best guess on the ZIP codes of the next records.
Big-game records are as unpredictable and as subject to whim as a teenaged girl, but that doesn’t stop us from speculating on the origins of the next celebrity head. Ask anybody who tracks horns and antlers to predict records, and you’ll get a mix of statistics and educated hunches. What you won’t get is consensus. The fact that experts can’t agree is ample proof of the difficulty of predicting the future based on the past. Which means the next world-record buck may be yours.
Bighorn Sheep MONTANA GIANTS The undisputed king of big-ram units is Montana’s District 680, in the Missouri River Breaks south of Havre. JUSTIFICATION Last year, a pair of 202-plus rams were taken here, where average mature rams sport 17-inch bases. CONSIDER New Mexico’s Wheeler Peak unit.

Just got word this past Saturday of a 737lb brune killed in WI. . .
MY RECORD WHITE TAIL PREDICTION IS IN ONTARIO BECAUSE ALL SUMMER I WATCHED A 190-210 INCH TIPICAL ALONG THE HIGHWAY NOT KIDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
my gang killed a 640 pounder this year look on the website the first 2 pics in the gallery is my gang
heavyweight....500 pounds is not that big at all...many many many 500 pounders are taken here in PA each year...
It's about time Iowa gets some credit for big deer. The next record for whitetail deer WILL be from Iowa.
I neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed to get one of them big whitetail it would look so good on my wall
I'd hate to have that thing charging at me. wow
Very large population of bears here in Nova Scotia,with a bruin recently taken of over 500 lbs,could see one here to tip the books anytime soon!
i agree with all of these all of them make sense. i think there are lots of othe rplaces with very low draw rates that produce very big bull elk lots of record book bulls have been shot in west kootenay area of british columbia. just recently a bull with a 454 before dedcutions and 409 with deductions but i think this is very accurate
Im surprised Newfoundland didnt make the list for bear, lots of 20"+ bears on the island
As good a picks as anyone's dart board. ;)
