190-Inch Middle Georgia 16-Point Bow Buck

Southern Reflections With Scott Hodges

GON Staff | September 30, 2024

Matthew Hvizdzak and his family with the amazing 16-point buck he took with a bow in Houston County on Sept. 27. The rack was rough-scored at more than 190 total inches and will likely score best as a non-typical.

“That deer’s going to be lucky to make it to 5.”

That was a neighbor’s comment about the 5 1/2-year-old, 16-point buck killed on Friday, Sept. 27 by Matthew Hvizdzak. The buck came to the attention of Matthew and neighbors when it was 2 1/2 years old and already had an impressive rack as a young buck. They named the buck “Lucky.”

Scott Hodges met with Matthew for a GON cover shoot and was able to talk to the bowhunter about the history with this special buck and the hunt that ended with a 17-yard shot.

Scott Hodges, of Byron, owns Southern Reflections Taxidermy and has long been a GON contributor.  If you have ever attended an Outdoor Blast show, you likely ran into Scott as he manned the Wall of Fame display with some of Georgia’s best bucks. His video blog Southern Reflections With Scott Hodges appears regularly at GON.com.
