“Mustafa,” a huge non-typ that Brewster’s group and other area hunters had been pursuing for several seasons, was certainly on Brewster’s mind that day. Luke Brewster made a 10-hour drive to his grandparent’s farm, where he shared privileges with friends Justin and Ron, for an early November hunt. It took a 30-year-old former Marine from Virginia to bring the Prairie State back into the giant non-typical spotlight, with a buck that would eclipse the Stephen Tucker buck for the largest hunter-killed non-typical of all time. Illinois has long been a hotbed of Booner non-typicals, but that reputation had taken a bit of a hit as the 20th century gave way to the 21st. Status: B&C’s current world-record hunter-killed non-typical P&Y’s new world-record non-typical whitetail
The Luke Brewster Buck Luke Brewster bested Tucker’s record buck just two years later. Finally, on November 7, after multiple encounters with the buck, Tucker connected when the giant visited a scrape only 30 yards from his ground blind. Tucker had numerous trail-cam pics of the giant, and had even shot at the buck (his muzzleloader misfired) two days before his fateful hunt on a property his family had farmed for 40 years. All that changed in 2016 when Stephen Tucker killed an incredible Volunteer State colossus that would eclipse the 12-year-old record for the largest hunter-killed non-typical in the B&C books. To say that Tennessee flew under the radar of most 21st-century trophy whitetail nuts is an understatement. The Jim Brewster Buck North America’s first world-record non-typical whitetail was taken in 1905 in British Columbia. The 10 trophies total over 2,800 inches of antler and have an average score of 290-roughly 77 inches bigger than the all-time typical record.
This isn’t a complete list, but rather a selection of the most impressive non-typs taken through the decades by a mix of gun and bow hunters. Every buck below (with one notable exception) set a new Boone and Crocket or Pope and Young world record in the category that honors the sheer amount of calcium a whitetail can sprout from its noggin. By that standard, the biggest, highest-scoring, most jaw-dropping whitetails ever taken are all non-typicals. Kickers, forks, stickers, and drop points only make a trophy more impressive. A good clean typical buck is a thing of beauty, of course, but for most of us, nets are for fishing, and it’s the total amount of bone on a buck’s head that really counts.
