Trevor Smith’s Monster Seven
It was the 2006 youth deer hunting season and it happened to also be my birthday, September 23rd.
I had one hour of hunting before my football game, so my father and I headed for our stand.
We were sitting there for about 10 minutes and we started seeing shadows and hearing footsteps.
At first light we saw 8 bucks standing less than 75 yards away.
I leveled my ruger 243 on the biggest one and dropped him.
This wasn’t my first buck but it was definitely my biggest.
It had a 15 inch spread seven points and 13 inch G2s.
It scored 123 b&c
