The
Raveling Buck
(282 0/8 non-typical)

The former #2 non-typical commonly known as Old "Rag Horn" sports a
typical-looking rack.
Larry Raveling missed this Iowa monster as a nineteen year old, first
year hunter. As the buck approached, during a drive, it had a
white rag tangled in its antlers - thus the name Old Rag Horn.
On the first drive of the next season's opening day, a fellow hunter
missed the big buck at close range. On the subsequent drive,
Raveling came over a rise and spotted a deer in some cover. Upon
detecting antlers, he shot what would turn out to be the 29 point
non-typical with a 24 3/8" inside spread and remarkably even drop tines.
Only a broken point kept it from becoming the world's largest
non-typical.
