Hunting
By Cliff Odum We first got this buck on camera three years ago when he was a very nice 9-pointer. He had a clean rack with a non-matching G4 on his left side. I had harvested a 10-point opening weekend of the 2023 season and had committed to my brother and father that I would…

The story of Lefty started during the 2017 rut on a family farm in Macon County. Drake Rye had just turned 4 years old and was checking trail-camera pictures with his dad, Brandon Rye, when they saw an up-and-coming buck with a lot of potential. Macon County requires at least a 15-inch outside spread, and…
