On Oct. 28, one week after securing permission to hunt a new property near his home in Chatham County, Blaine Sturdivant of White Cross, N.C. killed a 143-inch 8-point buck on his initial hunting trip to the location.

Clay Hall of Stoneville, N.C. has been hunting deer in Rockingham County since the 1980s, and he’s killed plenty of quality deer. But he killed his biggest, a 13-point, 150-class buck, this past Saturday, Oct. 27, when a buck he’s watched on trail cameras for years finally showed up during shooting hours and offered him a good shot with his Thompson Center Omega .50 caliber blackpowder rifle.
After three years as acquaintances, Alec Robertson of Reidsville, N.C., finally got to meet an old friend.
Robertson, an 18-year-old student at Rockingham Community College, had three years worth of trail-camera photos of a glorious white buck on some family property in his home county. He saw him for the first time this past Saturday around 6:15 and killed the big buck moments later on opening day of blackpowder season in Rockingham County.

When his neighbor wounded the buck on opening day, Schulz figured his chance was long gone, but on Sept. 25, the buck resurfaced on his side of the woods and Schulz put an arrow through the 167-inch giant.

For some, the third time is the charm, but for Jason Carter of Snow Camp, N.C., it was the fourth try that brought down his once-in-a-lifetime buck — a 10-point brute with an impressive set of antlers — on his family’s 400-acre cattle farm in Southern Alamance County on Sept. 21. […]
James Williams had not killed a “good” deer in over 30 years. Lamont Williams, his son, was determined to help his father, who taught him how to hunt, to finally get a trophy. After two misses, it was the third time that James finally got a prized nine-point buck that scored 133 5/8 inches of hard horns and weighed in at 165 pounds. […]
So, what is it about being a 16-year-old at North Stokes High School in Danbury, N.C., that makes big bucks try and run over you? […]
