Justin Price of Pageland, S.C. killed a 140-class buck, his personal best, on Nov. 3 just four hours after the big deer showed up on his Chesterfield County hunting property’s trail cameras for the first time.

Denton killed the buck with a 150-yard lung shot that he took free-handed from his modified climbing stand in Franklin County. […]
