Trey Lawfield
They walked to the area the buck stood and could see the buck's tracks but could not find any blood. By this time it was getting dark fast so they both decide to drive back to town and get some better lights. About 2 hours later they had made it back to the field and finally found a blood trail at the edge of the woods. The buck had made a sharp turn in the woods and traveled about 75 yards. The bullet had found it's mark and the 29-year old had made a great double lung shot. This is not the first buck Trey has taken, but it is the largest. The deer weighed around 200 lbs. The local taxidermist had gross scored the deer around 178 typical. Congratulations, to Trey Lawfield for making tremendous shot and, for taking a great southern big buck. I hope to score this deer very soon. As soon as I get an official score I will let you know. horntagger@charter.net |

(THE SOUTH HAS RISEN) |
By Allen Morris |
| With the rumors flying around Southern Missouri
about Big Bucks, it's almost impossible to keep track. When the rumors
of Big Bucks come from Southeast Missouri it's almost like a dream. At
this point in time there is 7 to 8 different record book deer, if not state
and/or worldrecords rumors in Southern Missouri. With 5 rumors of recordbook
deer are from Southeast Missouri.
The first deer and deer hunter, which is not a rumor, is Nick Panagos, of Southeast Missouri who has taken a buck with a bow on Apple Creek Conservation Area. It has gross score 202 netted 180 typical Boone & Crockett. I have talked with Nick and another writer is currently writing a story on this potential new state record. |

North Mo Sportsman,
You have requested time and again on the cafe for the submission of photos for your web page. Here are a few of the deer I have taken with a bow in recent years. The large 8 scores 151 3/8. The10-pointeris145 0/8. The other 10 on the wall plaque is 127 6/8. All of the others have never been scored. Good hunting. Jeff Smith C. Jeffrey Smith, Ph.D. Thanks Jeff, That's a nice pile of bow kills. Those big ones came
by my stand I don't know if I could hold my muzzle loader steady much less
a bow.

“Iron County Trophy” by Mark Courtway, Bloomsdale, Missouri
|
This dandy buck was taken the third afternoon
of the 2000 Missouri rifle season, and what a season it was!I
was hunting Mark Twain National Forest in Iron County when this buck stepped
out of a massive clear cut.I knew
he had used this clear cut often, because I had found his rubs and scrapes
before the season opened.
When he emerged from the clear cut, on my
left and slightly behind me, we stared eye to eye.All
I could see was legs, chest, head, and very thick, high antlers.Fortunately,
the wind was in my favor, or I’m sure he would have vanished as quickly
as he had appeared.I fired one shot,
which hit him in the heart; he ran 50 yards or so before he finally died.When
I approached this monster I was amazed at the thick non-typical rack –
the mass was unbelievable!
This buck scored 169 5/8 Boone and Crockett
points, after 21+ inches of deductions.The
21-point deer dressed 181 pounds.I’ll
never forget the feeling of awe that overcame me when I first spotted this
huge buck!After 32 years of rifle
hunting, I finally got a trophy Missouri buck – the buck of a lifetime!Never
give up, because you never know when the buck of a lifetime will show up!
