Jordan Spears of Tobaccoville, NC killed a 9-point buck in Stokes County, NC on Aug. 22, 2026.
She shot the buck with a Ruger American .308 during an evening hunt while sitting on the ground from 200 yards away.
Spears summed up the hunt with these words:
“My husband and I hunt on our family’s lease and we went for the two-day velvet season to our box that sits on the ground.
After about 2 hours of sitting, a doe and her fawn came out to eat. The buck was about 10 minutes behind, at 200 yards. It stood completely sideways. I took a clean shoulder shot. He ran 40 yards towards us and dropped. With an orange sunset behind him, it was a dream hunt.”
Spears is now entered in our Bag-A-Buck Contest, and is eligible to win our monthly prize pack, which includes a set of Ultimate Eyes & Ears Combo from ShellShock Pro, a YETI Rambler bottle, and a Carolina Sportsman hat, as well as our Grand Prize, a 2-day hunt for two to Cherokee Run Hunting Lodge in Chesterfield County, SC.
