7 Bucks That Broke the Internet in 2017

Here are seven of the biggest bucks we came across in 2017.

It's safe to say 2017 was the year of the buck.

Like any year since the rise of social media and deer hunting forums, there were a handful of bucks that caught the eye of deer hunters and circulated quickly. This year was especially good to us, so we decided to compile the seven best we've seen.

Michigan catches a lot of flack for the high hunter density and pressure. However, this buck, tagged by John Hatt, found a way to grow into an incredible typical whitetail. Learn the full story of this Van Buren County buck.

2. Iowa Giant Whitetail

Iowa seems to find themselves on these lists year after year. This season proved no different when a massive non-typical surfaced the internet, generating rumors of where it was tagged. When the truth came out, it was Hawkeye State. The deer had 24 scoreable points and had a green gross score of 254 6/8 inches. Read the full story from earlier this season.
