Just came across this post shared by a friend, I would take a typical over non-typical any day of the week.
"This Might Be the New World Record Whitetail
Guner Womack, a teen out of Oklahoma, arrowed this incredible 88 buck last night while hunting over a wheat field.
An initial score by Womack's dad put the buck at 201 inches net and 214 inches gross. Womack said the 13-inch difference comes from the shorter left G2 and broken main beam on the right side.
The current world record typical whitetail is the famous Hanson buck, which has just over 213 inches of net antler. It'd be fitting for the record to fall in 2019, just one year removed from a new world record non-typical whitetail and muley.
Womack has a better shot at claiming the new world record for a typical whitetail taken with archery equipment. That record belongs to Mel Johnson and has stood since 1965. Mel's Perfect 66 Illinois deer scored 204 inches. Even if he can't reach the Hanson or Johnson buck, Womack will likely beat the current Oklahoma typical record of 194 inches.
Womack's buck will certainly be close, but he'll have to wait another 59 days to get an official Boone & Crockett measurement. The Club requires a drying period before taking a final score, which sometimes leads to as much as 5 inches in score lost.
Record book be damned, this is a once-in-a-lifetime free range whitetail. Congrats, Guner."
