I've seen alot of big deer (over 200") being brought in to los cazadores, but all were pen raised deer that had been released so I don't count those.
Biggest deer that I've seen in person was a mule deer buck that weighed over 300lbs that grossed 211"
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

I see lots of big ones. Several over 200. But.....My wife works for a Taxidermist and there's a processor across the street.

If I send my neighbors a text and ask them to give me feedback on my lawn and plant rye into a giant dong pattern, I'm probably going to get some less than positive feedback. Same goes here.

I saw a low 190s Brooks County buck a few years back. Amazing mass. Wish I still had the pic.

Wasn't the biggest rack I ever collected, but I shot a buck sometime back in the 80's (the head is over the fireplace now) that was too big to move. It was over in Louisiana, where I grew up. Probably the biggest and prettiest buck I ever saw. I grabbed him by the antlers to drag him over to the pipeline right of way, and I couldn't move him, not one inch. I went for help. Forget using the ATV. Had to get Dad's truck and a few able bodied helpers.
Not my monkeys, not my circus...

Years and years ago, we hunted Mason Co. Around the late 70's/early 80's when you started having to take deer in to a cooler, there were these deer every year, probably 180's or so. Supposedly came from Blue Mountain area, but we hunted close and never saw anything remotely close
I'd ask him if he's pregnant. He missed a s__tload of periods. I'll take "things that look like a uterus" for $200 Alex.

About a month ago I saw a low 190 class deer that was taken from low fence. The guy shot it in old Mexico. It was something like a 10k or 15k acre ranch. He told me the official score but I can't remember exactly what it was and I didn't take any pics.
