The Mel Johnson Buck was harvested on October 29, 1965, near Peoria in Peoria County, Illinois, and is one of the most iconic whitetail deer in North American hunting history. Taken with archery equipment, this typical whitetail scored an official 204 4/8 inches net, earning recognition as the world-record typical archery whitetail for decades. Featuring 13 points, massive main beams, long tines, and an impressive inside spread of roughly 23–24 inches, the buck became a benchmark for size, symmetry, and fair-chase achievement, cementing its legacy as a true legend in the record books.

High Quality Canvas
We print on a thick, archival-grade canvas to ensure durability. It is pH neutral and acid-free, so it will not yellow over time. Its bright white surface will support vibrant, dazzling colors that are consistent and accurate across a wide gamut with a semi-glossy sheen. Matte option is also available upon request. Comes in standard and custom sizes.
Solid Wood Stretcher Bars
Our solid wood stretcher bars ensure that the canvas print does not warp or bow over time. The rounded edges and beautifully beveled sides of our stretcher bars allow minimal contact with the canvas.
Color Accuracy
Our giclee, eco-solvent inkjet printers are color calibrated regularly to ensure the most color-accurate prints. These bright, vivid, and amazing colors will resist fading for over 100 years and help your prints last for generations.
