Hunt Story
I was hunting a travel route leading out from a bedding area.The buck came up a finger in the middle of two valleys following a mature doe. I was situated in the middle of two logs facing the bedding area. He slowly walked into my shooting lane following the doe, and I dropped him in his tracks. When I got him back to the check station at Lake Russell, the game managers there aged his jaw bone at 6 1/2 years old. He weighed 187 pounds and had an 18 1/2-inch inside spread. After all the measurements were done they confirmed that he was the biggest buck ever taken on Lake Russell! He is my biggest buck to date and an amazing buck to kill on public land. I have to give thanks to the good Lord for the opportunity to kill this awesome buck. Also a big thanks to my brother Levi Loggins and Corey Alexzander for helping drag him out and hold lights. Levi has helped me drag many good deer out of some deep and steep terrain. Could not have done it without them!
