Like many hunters, Brian Bailey grew up hunting deer and dreaming of one day taking the biggest whitetail ever, an ambitious goal considering the white-tailed deer is the most hunted game animal in North America.
Brian enjoys both free range and estate hunting, and in 2020 he began hunting annually with the Walk family at Pennsylvania’s Quest Haven Lodge in pursuit of that dream. After five seasons, Brian connected on what is quite possibly the largest deer that will ever walk the planet, eclipsing the previous record by more than 250 inches.
This extraordinary Northeastern Non-Typical White-Tailed Deer was scored by a panel of SCI master measurers at 1002 3/8 inches. It now stands as the world record and may never be surpassed.
