THE NAME OF THE GAME | ||
|
This story starts in October of 2006. While hunting on a stand one evening I saw a nice buck coming in. After glassing the buck I realized it was a nice eight-pointer.
I watched as this buck came in to me but I never got a shot. Several hunters that season reported seeing this huge eight-pointer but no one ever got a good shot at him. During the spring of 2007, sheds of this eight-pointer were found and a rough score of 150 with a 17” spread were taken. |

On a beautiful November morning in 2007 a Pennsylvania hunter was back in Monster Bucks Country for a return hunt. In 2006 he and his 15 year-old son had come to enjoy some quality time hunting together. His son shot a very nice 140 class (Pope & Young) buck that weighed 315 pounds his first morning out.
After seeing the potential for a quality buck the Dad returned this year telling his son that he was going to get a big buck. While scouting the ground the dad found a spot with a big rub and chose that spot to set up and hunt. The following morning he rattled the big boy in and got a good shot. He sat and watched as the wounded buck disappeared in a milo field. |

|
The search was on. There were five hunters searching a 100-acre milo field for hours. Everyone decided to go to town for lunch except the Pennsylvania hunter. He just couldn’t leave. While returning to the field I got the call that he had found the buck of a lifetime! This huge eight pointer had gained 20 inches in one year. The official score was 169 1/8 Pope & Young. The happy Dad has booked another hunt for 2008. This time father and son will hunt together again. |
