Lincoln County.
10pt, 15.5 in wide, scored 117 2/8, weighed 210lbs.
Shane, Riley's proud dad, said, "Riley and I had been
getting pictures of this deer for the last week and I told him with the
does we were seeing, it was just a matter of time. Friday we decided to
go to that stand even though it was hot and the wind was blowing. Casen
his 5yr old brother wanted to go so we all loaded up in the golf cart and
headed out about 4:15. We slipped up to the stand, and I looked out in
the plot through the trees and saw a doe standing there. Then I looked
toward the back and saw the buck about 75 yards behind her. Knowing the
only way we were going to be able to get a shot was to get in the stand, I
told Riley to move whenever the doe had her head down. The buck was so
focused on her that he did not notice all three of us getting into the box
stand. Once we all were in the stand, I started filming and Riley waited
for the buck to turn broadside. Finally he turned, and Riley shot and
dropped him at 175 yards. The celebration was on after that. Was super
cool to have both of my boys together for the hunt and great to see how
much they enjoy it. I am blessed much more than I deserve."
