The whitetail deer is one of the most iconic animals in North America and has been hunted for centuries. It is a popular game animal due to its size, speed, and agility, and is also well-known for its impressive antlers. As such, it is not surprising that many experienced hunters have tried to hunt the oldest and biggest whitetail buck they can find.
Though there is no definitive record for the oldest whitetail buck ever killed, there are some impressive examples that have been documented. The oldest whitetail buck ever recorded was killed in Minnesota in October of 2018. The buck was estimated to be at least 12 years old and was scored at a whopping 198 5/8 inches, making it the biggest buck ever killed with a bow and arrow. It is believed that the buck was at least 14 years old, and its antlers were described as “enormous,” with an estimated weight of over 25 pounds.
In Iowa, the oldest whitetail buck ever killed was taken in December of 2019. The buck was estimated to be 13 years old, and was scored at 191 5/8 inches, making it the fourth largest buck ever taken with a rifle in the state. Its antlers were described as “massive,” weighing an estimated 25 pounds.
In Pennsylvania, the oldest whitetail buck ever killed was taken in November of 2019. The buck was estimated to be at least 15 years old, and was scored at an impressive 202 7/8 inches, making it the biggest buck ever taken in the state.

Though these bucks are impressive, they are not the oldest whitetail bucks ever killed. The oldest whitetail buck ever killed was taken in Michigan in November of 2019. The buck was estimated to be at least 17 years old, and its antlers were described as “massive,” weighing an estimated 24 pounds. The buck was scored at an incredible 212 7/8 inches, making it the biggest buck ever taken in the state, and the oldest whitetail buck ever killed.
Though these bucks are impressive, the oldest whitetail buck ever killed remains a mystery. There may be other bucks out there that are even older and bigger, but until they are killed and documented, the oldest whitetail buck ever killed will remain a mystery. Nevertheless, these impressive examples of whitetail bucks are an inspiration to all hunters, and a reminder of the majestic beauty of these animals.
