Biggest Buck Ever Shot! The mount of this famous whitetail is now part of the King of Bucks collection, which is in the Wonders of Wildlife display at the American National Fish & Wildlife Museum in Springfield, Missouri. The story of the top whitetail ever shot is as great as the deer. When 15-year-old Tony Lovstuen pulled the trigger of his muzzleloader on the afternoon of Sept. 29, 2003, he ended the reign of a buck that already was world famous.
