Josh Sullivan of Magee, MS picture with his recent
harvest and told the Bragging Post, "I shot this fella Saturday
January 1st, 2010. I was hunting with a buddy and his son glassing a
100 acre cut over that I own in Mize, MS. We were just looking around
and spotted this fella chasing a doe @ 330 yards out. By the time we
saw him and were trying to get a good sight on him he had already seen
us and was about to leave the cut over. My buddy's son hit on a FlexTone
grunt a couple of times and got his attention. We finally got him back
in to 225 yards and I propped the BAR 30-06 up on some Stoney Point
shooting sticks and sent a 165gr Seirra Game King down the pipe. I
heard the report of the bullet when it hit, unfortunately I didnt see
him drop. I came up on him and WOW did he grow!!! We originally
thought that he was a decent 8 point, turns out he was a main frame 10
w/ 2 kickers!
He is @ Tim Little's Taxidermy now awaiting drying for
scoring. I'm hoping he is going to gross close to 140". He has nice 5"
bases 15.5" inside, 18" outside. I can't remember the main beam lengths
right off my head. My scales were not working @ the time of the
skinning but I estimated him to be 180-190lbs.
I'm 25 years old and this was my first racked deer!
I've been hunting since I was 8 and it has taken me this long to finally
shoot something to put on the wall!
I spoke with some game wardens Monday and they said
they would like to see him in the wildlife extravaganza in the fall...
so I guess we will be there!"
