On Friday the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks officially recognized this 200-inch buck as the largest typical archery whitetail ever taken in the state.⁠ ⁠ Bowhunter Albert Daniels tagged the 12-pointer in Franklin County in 1995, and it only resurfaced after the hunter’s son, Matthew Daniels, spent seven years trying to track down the shoulder mount and then submitted it to the record books. Although the agency indicated at the time that it would update the record books to certify Albert Daniel’s buck, KDWP finally updated the state records on its website last week, as reported by the Wichita Eagle and confirmed by the younger Daniels Tuesday. It’s the conclusion Daniels has been waiting for, though he still says the certificate itself is in the mail.⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in profile for the full story 🔗⁠ ⁠ #hunting #huntingseason #deerhunting #deerseason #bigbuck #bigbucks #archeryhunting #outdoors #conservation #outdoorlife⁠ 📷: Matthew Daniels⁠ Story by: krebfish
