Here the story my son Gunner wrote:
Me and Buddy Conner both drew 23 JR tags. After helping my dad with lots of coues hunts in 23 I knew we would have a great hunt. Second day of the hunt found us looking at a great shooter buck bedded. After putting a game plan together we were heading up to get within shooting range when we jumped 5 big bucks, a complete giant compareable to clay goldmans buck for those of you that have seen it.. In the 140's. Unfortunately he didnt stop for me to get a shot but when he skylighted himself me and my dad could not believe how big that buck was. So after the shock wore off we figured we better try to get one of these other bucks on the ground. So we looked over the other bucks, picked out the biggest one and let him have it. He dropped in his tracks.
The next morning we went back to the same area with conner to try to kill the buck that I orginally was going after. We located him early that mornning and waited for him to bed. My dad took him in on the stalk as I stayed and watched it go down with Conners dad and my dads best friend Mark, They got to 300 yards and Conner made a great shot.
My buck scored 113" and Conners was 112 6/8" Mine had all the mass and his had all the width.
