Killing a 150-inch buck from Wheeler County wasn’t really what John Clark, of Alamo, was expecting in the mid-morning hours of Oct. 28. “This buck was on no camera, hadn’t been seen or anything. He was nowhere,” said John. John shot the buck from a brand-new ground blind that had only been purchased two days…
I would like to ask for a few minutes of your time, especially any hunters. I want to tell the story of an accident, about what happened that turned a family hunting trip into a nightmare in the blink of an eye. This trip was planned for my dad Eddie Gordon, my son Adam Luke and myself. Some…
On Nov. 18, Aaron Storey, of Cook County, killed a non-typical 13-point buck that grossed in the low 180s.
