A Kansas bow hunter's peculiar whitetail buck haul from last year may be the world's fourth largest non-typical whitetail deer, if it gets accepted by the international non-profit org that looks over big game records in North America. 

Brian Butcher, 38, shot the large buck in October 2019 in Chase County but the deer's rack was finally measured by the Boone and Crockett Club on Friday, the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism reports. 

The Boone and Crockett Club is an international non-profit conservation organization that monitors native North American big game records. 

Butcher's massive whitetail had an unofficial net non-typical score of 321 3/8 inches, beating the previous Kansas state record by 57 1/4 inches. 

That is a gnarly looking rack.

  Any idea if that's a genetic anomality or if it just "happens" sometimes?

  Congrats to the hunter. I'd a shot it in a heartbeat but it sure is f-ugly. There could be several reasons for that rack - genetics, injury, infection etc... I was a Boone & Crocket scorer at one time but if someone wanted me to score that, I think it would have scared the heck out of me. Not even sure where I'd start. 😮 Bob
