The "James Jordan" Buck

Our late founder, Larry Huffman, discusses one of the world's most famous typical deer, the James Jordan Buck. In 1914, Jim Jordan killed an enormous white-tailed deer which eventually became the “World Record” typical white-tailed deer. In an interesting chain of events, Jordan lost possession of the head for 50 years...

    IMHO, this buck is still the greatest of all time. Incredible mass, symmetry and enormous body weight. It had it all !

    A truly massive, wild and free living whitetail buck deer. Impressive. These days, unfortunately, you have superficial idiots who farm and scientifically create massive Frankenstein bucks. Then they sell them off, or some chump shoots it off a feeder on a high fence ranch, has it mounted and brags. Just not the same and is lame.

    No it’s not unfortunately. People like that in my opinion aren’t hunting they’re farming or being a business I saw one video where the buck couldn’t hold his head up with his rack. Unfortunately we will never have these massive awesome wild bucks like these in the wild again sadly.

    This is the first time I've heard a weight estimate of the Jordan buck. While 400 lb whitetails are not unheard-of, it would place this buck in the top 5 or 10 heaviest all time, depending on whether he's referring to field-dressed or on-the-hoof.

    My uncle killed one in 70s that weighed 380 in Alabama. Dog drive in the woods deer broke through a peanut field late November morning. Single shot 12 gage # 3 buck shot at 10 yards almost ran him over . It ran 300 more yards . Rack was small but old deer . Cotton scail head still dragged the ground at 360 lbs so I added 20 to the weight . Slob of a buck .

    Nice deer. People today will never be as impressive as the older hunters. High fences, food plots/bait, and cameras that tell you in real time when a buck is on your bait pile. Just not the same.

    At the time the story I saw in Outdoor Life, I asked Dad if he ever heard Jim talk of a big buck. Jim never talked about it that he could remember. It would of been in the mid 1930's to early 40's when Dad's family lived on the river. Egus Davis (pronounced Ekus) had a crew of guys that cut pulp wood including Dad and my Grandfather. Trappers, loggers and woodsman they all were back then.
