Discover the Legend of Hole-in-the-Horn: A Whitetail History Resurgence
In the 1940s, a stunning find near Ohio railroad tracks forever changed the world of whitetail deer hunting. Railroad workers stumbled upon a colossal non-typical buck known as Hole-in-the-Horn, which would later be ranked as the second-largest non-typical whitetail of all time.
This extraordinary buck boasted an astonishing rack with over 45 points—a true marvel that has captivated deer hunters and enthusiasts across generations. Yet, many details surrounding this iconic buck have been forgotten, misremembered, or never documented at all.
