Jim Muehlbach’s son Jake killed a 130-inch bruiser on the opening day of archery season in central North Carolina, and on the day before gun season opened, it was the dad’s turn to take down an even larger, 153-inch archery buck that will become the highest scoring deer either of them have ever taken off their Chatham County property.
