huge buck

Tanner Herndon won first monthly Bag-A-Buck of 2022

Tanner Herndon of Rosinville, S.C. is a 21-year-old hunter that’s already placed multiple deer in South Carolina’s records list. And he added another with the 12-point, 222-pound Dorchester County buck he killed on Aug. 29. 

The buck has been green-scored at 162 inches.

Through trail-cam surveillance from the deer’s birth, Herndon estimated the buck at 5 1/2-years-old.

After word began to spread about the big buck, Carolina Sportsman field reporter Brian Carroll called Herndon to get the scoop, entering the hunter in our Bag-A-Buck Contest, which awards monthly prizes as well as a Grand Prize.
