Ohio hunter Dan Coffman successfully harvested this world class whitetail that potentially puts it grossing over 300-inches non-typical, thus challenging the Pope and Young all time record (294-inches net). The reports are just starting to come in, primarily through social media, with Your Wild Ohio breaking the story on their Facebook page. The initial rumors have the unofficial measurements netting 286-inches, which would put it a close second.

Your Wild Ohio initially posted the photo with the caption:
Congratulations to Ohio hunter Dan Coffman on successfully harvesting this world class whitetail!
Wildlife Officer Tony Zerkle was impressed with Coffman’s preparation even before season. When Coffman realized he may have an opportunity to harvest the deer, he contacted Zerkle in the months leading up to the season. He advised him of the potential harvest and most importantly he contacted the neighboring landowners and built trust so he may be able to retrieve the deer if needed. That preparation paid off when he got permission to retrieve the deer from a neighboring property. Congrats again, Dan!
