WCS 11 Point 180 Class
POPE & YOUNG BUCK
On the rainy October day while I was celebrating my birthday, Zachery 18 years old,
who never hunts in the rain, decided to go bowhunting after work. It is a decision he
probably will never be able to top.
One of my customers sent me an article out of The Daily News dated October 7th.
WOW ! What a dandy.
Eighteen years old and to harvest a mature BUCK like this is a dream of a lifetime.
As the article said, he wasn't having a very good day. When he got to his stand there was
a problem with it which he had to fix.
After in it for a while there seemed to be does everywhere. Then he saw a buck, then
another two, and when one lifted his head he couldn't believe his eyes. They were about
45 yards away. Zachery has been hunting with dad Mike since he was twelve. His dad
taught him everything he could about hunting and using this knowledge he was able to
maintain his cool and get the job done. The shot was 25 yards. The BUCK went about
50 yards and Zachery saw him go down for a dirt nap. The BUCK has an 18" spread and the
bases are 6 1/2". Green score of 180" plus. After the drying 60 day period this buck has a
good chance of being in the NYS top 10 record book. Zachery was hunting in the swamps
of Albion Road in Oakfield.
LIFE IS GOOD !
