The LARGEST TYPICAL EVER From The East Coast!
When you think of some of the largest whitetails to ever walk this earth, there is almost always a wild story behind how the rack was discovered or harvested. The milo hansen buck was shot doing gun drives in Canada. The general was a set of sheds that remained hidden to the world in a barn in Missouri for years. The hole in the horn buck was found dead on a set of railroad tracks with a mysterious hole in the rack. The rompala buck was, well I'm sure you've heard the numerous conflicting reports about that deer.
It seems that there is always something weird, wild or controversial about these giants. In more recent news, a new giant typical has been recently discovered in a state that you might not expect. The New Pennsylvania state record, the Kyriss buck, was shot in 1962. It's a 220 gross typical that ends up netting 202 7/8".
There isn’t much known of the origins of this buck because of how old it is. The buck was originally killed by Frederick Kyriss of Montgomery county, Pennsylvania. The rack sat in a barn amongst the collection of Mr. Kyriss’s other bucks that he had harvested over the years for more than 40 years.
One day after Mr. Kyriss had passed, his wife decided to have a garage sale, and the enormous rack was revealed to the public for the first time. The rack, along with the rest of the collection was sold that day and ended up at a small antique store near Boyertown, Pennsylvania, where the original rack spent the next 20 years stashed away in a back room out of the public eye.
It wasn’t until 2018 that the antlers would see the light of day again. At the Pennsylvania trappers association's annual rendezvous at the Perry county fairgrounds, a vendor was walking to his car, and he noticed a man walking across the parking lot toward the building entrance carrying the large antlers. The vendor approached the man and began asking questions. The man with the rack didn’t know anything about its history, but he told the vendor he’d recently purchased it from an antique store that was going out of business for $40. The vendor subsequently purchased the rack for $100 from the man in the parking lot and took the antlers inside with him. It turned quite a few heads during the show and after several visitors to the booth and questions about the rack, a man in an adjoining booth offered the vendor $200 and the rack yet again changed hands.
Eventually, the third owner sold the antlers to Jay Fish, owner of the new legends collection. Soon after that, the rack changed hands again and ended up in Keith Sinder’s North American monster whitetail collection. From there, it made its way to Bass Pro Shop's Wonders for Wildlife museum in Springfield, Missouri. Bass Pro Shops sent a replica to the Pennsylvania state game commission that now hangs in their office headquarters in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
With three tines over 13 inches long and six total that exceed 10, it’s easy to see where the high score comes from. The 219 2/8 gross typical score places it in legendary company among the top 25 highest-grossing typical whitetails ever recorded. What’s more, the net score of 202 7/8 puts it solidly in the no. 9 spot all-time in the Boone and Crocket record book.
Its left antler, scoring 102 3/8, is only 1” less than the right antler of the general. If it was scored soon after the 60-day drying period, it would have overtaken the john breen buck that was the official world record at that time. If it was measured soon after the 60 day drying period and the rack didn’t have 5 4/8 inches of abnormal growth deductions, it would have had a net score of 208 ⅞ inches, meaning that it would have taken until the 213 5/8 inch Milo Hansen Buck to dethrone it!
This deer sparks the question “what else is out there is the keystone state?” After years of antler restrictions in the state, bigger and better bucks are finally being taken. Will Pennsylvania ever produce another world class whitetail? Only time will tell.

Amazing buck. But how do they know it was shot in PA? Could this gentleman have potentially shot it out west somewhere?
there's monsters in pa you half to climb the mountains there's buck that never had human contact before.

Or go through deep swamp.
I don’t understand how they can certify a record based on a story of something killed that long ago. How do they know it wasn’t killed on a deer farm or something?
What i dont understand about this buck is the lack of evidence it was actually killed by the first man known to have it and lack of evidence it was actually killed in PA. This guy had it in a barn this guy bought it this guy bought it this guy bought it... and it might have came from the midwest or even Ohio before it spent 40yrs in a barn. Just dont see enough proof and evidence to dethrone the previous record holder in PA. Its all hear say without state documentation from when it was killed. None the less, its a awesome buck.

Totally agree! Imo a buck shouldn’t be able to be entered into the books unless it’s been killed within 2 years of entry. It’s just fishy to me all of these old bucks coming out of the woodwork all of a sudden

Lifelong resident of PA, full time taxidermist. Surely the wife and family could have confirmed the deer was taken in PA.,..not to mention have you guys seen any of the bucks that come from Montgomery, Chester and Bucks counties…? Totally legitimate in my opinion. Doubtful the old farmer was traveling West in 1962 to shoot a deer.

No tag, No report card , others hunters would of been fined if found out truely from PA.
Great story. It sounds like pa was overwhelmed to claim this as ours though. The jordan buck for example took years of hand written letters and people vouching for jordan to get the buck recognized as his. He was alive. This thing passed through owner after owner and people knowing about it and know one recognized its potential? The whole thing seems strange.

I thought so too, until I read some articles about it. Apparently the family has pictures and he was a well known hunter for the time in PA. All that being said I’m still iffy about it. It’s nice to think there’s monsters out there running around in my home state

PA tourist campaign, more than likely
This story may or may not be bogus. But since the antler restrictions PA is showing big bucks year after year. What I think people should remember is PA has more hunters than almost any state and while we have plenty of public land small agricultural is disappearing year after year. We’ll never be Iowa our numbers of hunters is 75% of Iowas entire population. Maybe bogus but I’d like to think it’s real gives you that childhood like hope.
Screw deductions. If he grew it , it should count. Period.
Kinda lost me when you said The General (aka, The Nebraska Giant) was discovered in Missouri...
Incredible whitetail!
An absolutely incredible buck! It was amazing to see in person!!!!
60's were awesome!
Port Royal is in Juniata County, PA. The Perry County fair grounds are in Newport, PA.
It could of been off a deer farm for all we know.
I've killed some dandy bucks in my 25+ years in the whitetail woods. If I ever get a crack at a deer of that caliber, I'd cry like a baby.
I seen one close to that in elk county one mile from mcean county line on rocky run road off 219 in PA in 2006 they crossed the road in front of our car so me and my dad parked the car and got out and we were in the woods about 1000 feet off the road obe an 8 without brow tines wich i shot and the other one i swear to god was a 14 point it was massive i almost broke the window with my barrel i was freaking out
Have you put your hands on the Barry Kern Jr archery buck? That's another mega frame typical from Pa.
Dude almost said Kansas. That looks like a Kansas gene buck. Let's do a mineral test on the rack. It will let us know what and where it's been eating based on soil samples from counties. Known poacher in wisconsin got caught with these type of test. And that was in the 90s

That's one heck of a deer
I find this very interesting because my dad shot a buck that looks oddly similar to this buck with similar tines and less points but has the same hook on the g1 and has that crazy length on the right side possibly this buck could be the disendit of the one my father killed
Incredible buck n story
There's a buck in my area that got shot under a spot light this year. I heard The game commission scored the rack at 176 inches. I never seen a buck that big in my area before. Funny thing is There's one big than that in the same area. They hide in the prison land that people can't hunt
Port Royal is in Juniata County, not Perry County. I believe the Perry County fair is near Newport.
How much did it sell for the last time?
This rack proves the double standard in PA. Other hunters have been FINED for having an untagged unreported rack.

I honestly don't think this buck should be put in the record book. There's to many questions
What about 'Rackzilla' from PA?
New sub ! Liked 🤩👍
this buck scores 204 typical.
Pennsylvania is not east coast maybe the eastern half but where I live in western Pennsylvania Pittsburgh region and its considered midwest lots of farmlands and wood lots
Feel like it’s not accurate to call it an “East Coast” buck considering PA doesn’t even have a coastline on the Atlantic. If we’re gonna call it “East Coast” let’s be real here. Nevertheless it’s a beautiful buck
Net is for fish🙄
The “BUCK”👍😱🔫

@@kylemurray7086 Thats awesome to hear! I think the bull surrounding it and milo(being the bum he is) threatening a law suit got to him...and imagine what it would take to do surgery like that in the field that’s good enough to fool credible people who had laid hands on the deer. I hope one day, if he is alive, something concrete comes out. Hope you cross paths with the buck of a lifetime this season.
I live 10min from where this buck was killed. I will hopefully shoot a 180inch 8pt this year. He is 6.5yrs old n I have his shed from this pass year. It's the smaller side n measures 72inches. The buck spread is 25-27 inches n his other side I estimate near 82inches
I live in the area this buck was killed. The deer spent his life on state penitentiary property. Back in the 60's this area was fairly rural with plenty of farmland and like I said state penitentiary property that was off limits to all hunters. The potential was definitely there and with proper genes a buck like this was definitely possible. You also have to consider there was no horn porn back then. People weren't obsessed with antlers like today's hunters are. I totally believe this is legitimate until someone PROVES otherwise. What a magnificent creature.
