Girl Next Door Tags Monster Suburban Eight-Point Buck Next Door
Girl Next Door Tags Monster Suburban Eight-Point Buck Next Door
Fallon Kunevicius didn’t hesitate to bag this buck when it crossed through a narrow ravine between backyards on her family’s suburban property in Independence, Ohio. On the evening of November 3rd, as the buck quartered slightly away, she raised her crossbow, center-punched the slammer, and with some help from a tight-knit community, recovered the giant main-frame 8-pointer from her neighbor’s front-yard shrubbery.

That is an amazing buck. I like the idea of an urban bowhunt only season. Good thing the neighbors weren't anti's because seeing a dead buck in your front shrubs is not something that happens every day. Congrats Fallon!
that's a beauty
amazing whitetail!
Great get, Fallon! We're you using your Suburban Camo Unit? :) Fantastic!
Forget the deer, who is this lady? She is hot and bowhunts!
That's amazing that she got that deer literally in her backyard!!
Nate
Dang! Wish my neighborhood (and neighbors) were like that. Just have to shake my head at the background in the photos.
Now that's an HBC(Hottie Booner Club) world record!
Good looking chick with a good looking buck!! =)
what a buck, now its time to invite him to a backyard bbq
nice deer i wouldnt think a deer like this would be in an urban area
Man, some of the biggest deer I've ever seen were running through neighborhoods. They get plenty to eat and for the most part are not hunted so the get big and old.
Great deer! Sounds like a sweet set-up you got goin'.
Freakin awesome!!! The deer is nice also!!!
If I saw something like that in my backyard I'd be trying hard to get it too! What a rack!
Dang. How come pretty ladies never call me to help drag their deer out of the neighbors yard?
nice buck, we here in china grove,north carolina have some nice bucks also. all i can say is good work and fast thinking on your part fallon.
C'mon guys, give her a break! She is a very nice looking woman, who happened to be fortunate enough to bag a great deer. I wish I lived in a neighborhood like that. Nice job, Fallon!
thats a rele nice deer, congratz
NICE BUCK! Congrats!
Wow, Great Buck!!
Nice deer. And it would be nice not having to drag the deer far
It is wonderful to know both sexes are avid outdoors folks!
Thumbs up! way to go lady, well done.
Those suburban whitetails are something else. I hope the kids in the neighborhood did not have a name for that deer.
Great job Fallon! It's great to see women hunters score big! Thanks to you and all other women hunters for helping keep the hunting tradition alive.
Never mind some of those comments. It's the same thing that buck had on it's mind and look where it got him!
nice buck. congrats
I bet if I shot this buck with a crossbow in my yard that Field & Stream wouldnt dedicate a mass emailing and a forum to it. Killing a deer in your yard doesnt make you a hunter. Im not a hater, I just think its funny how the girls dont have to play by the same rules.
Sure would like to have one like that.....the buck is nice too.
NICE BUCK!!!!!!!!
Nice buck.
How much did it field dress at?
I'd get that rack mounted, too!!!
Awesome whitetail
I love it. He is a big son of a gun.
Beautiful, and that's a nice buck too.
MikeHawk, You do sound like a hater! LOL....
I'm sure the lady plays by the same rules that every man has. She just looks better doing it! Great Job Ladies! Keep makin us hunters look good!
MikeHawk I don't know where in the country you live but I haven't seen a whole lot of 170 class 8 point bucks in my backyard but It sure would be cool. I live in a town near Independence that is not as understanding about the deer population arround us. The deer are fun to watch but when they treat my wife's flower garden as a full time salad bar, She would like to shoot the deer too. Nice deer Fallon and thanks for sharing your story.
One of the most beautiful catches I have EVER SEEN. Oh, and hte buck looks nice too.
Congtrats ,a fine buck!!!!!!!!
That is a nice buck. I have seen a very nice one walking my fence line this year. The funny thing is how my dogs (3) can walk by a deer standing still at 30' and NOT SMELL IT! It's like the deer can turn off it's scent. Thats been in calm winds too.
I think I'm going to break out my recurve after seeing your pic. Unlike Fallon, I can't let the wife know though! Not in the back yard.
you know what was really nice other than the Fallon and the deer is that the pictures did not show the blood and hole. Don't get me wrong it does not bother me so much but for those crazy PETA followers they are limited on this one unless they are pretty girl haters also
Congrats on a beautiful buck
I am not a big believer in spread measurments because it's just thin air between the beams, but the spread on that eight-pointer is breathtaking.
i like the spread,but i like hers better.
Two beautiful things in one picture...AMAZING!!!
That's a nice spread for an 8 pointer. You should have thrown some apples or acorns instead. ;)
Nice buck and good to take advantage of any legal opportunities you have to harvest a deer regardless of the geography, in the final analysis you still had to set up and make a good shot, congradulations for that. Sad however, to see some of the comments you had to contend with from menbers of the hunting community, it is these actions that give hunters a bad rap. Can't look at a woman as a hunter but some had to add the off-beat comments. Com'n think of the anti's that look for this stuff as a way to knock hunters.
Fast thinking, staying calm, getting to a good shooting location, observing the background for safety and last but not lease, making a good shot on a great buck are just part of the elements that went into harvesting this animal. Many of the same actions we use in the woods had to be performed. Never mind that it was from the house. So guys (Mike) give her credit. There were so many things that could have gone wrong or she could have done differently that would have led to different results. Fallon, you are to be commended.
Wow nice rack and the deer to
Why if I may ask can a pretty lady not shoot a very nice buck without having a bunch of perverted comments on the picture? Ya I'm a guy but some of these comments are stupid would you say that to a guy if you were a girl? It doesnt encourage women to get into the sport!!!!
I forgot good job Fallon and congratulations the haters are just jealous. lol
nice spread!
nice spread!
That buck is huge I live in the middle of no where and never.seen a deer that big. Good kill good luck nexrt year
SARAH WHO !! This woman looks to be the real deal, nice deer don't care if it's in your back yard or on a mountain top in Montana...
You could hunt with me any day....
Nice buck, congrats. That's nice that you have neighbors like that.
