Jason Lindler of Lexington, South Carolina has beaten the bushes looking for a trophy buck for over 30 years. And on Oct. 26, a day of relentless rain and wind, Lindler finally found one. He killed the biggest deer of his life — an eight-point, 140-class trophy that evening.
When Codey Cromer of Lawsonville, NC saw a tall-racked, full velvet buck on his Stokes County hunting lease on the morning of Oct. 21, he knew it was a special deer. So he wasted no time drawing back on his Buckmaster BTR bow and firing straight through the buck’s vitals from 20 yards away.
