One Shot, One Kill: Kentucky Hunter Tags 180-Class Perfect 10-Point Typical
One Shot, One Kill: Kentucky Hunter Tags 180-Class Perfect 10-Point Typical
Wilson was hunting a 20-acre farm near his hometown of Cynthiana with two friends on Nov. 17, the sixth day of Kentucky’s firearms season. A morning mishap nearly caused him to call the hunt off.
Additional Info
Like many a Kentucky boy before him, 25-year-old Devon Wilson grew up hunting squirrels with a .22 before graduating to whitetail deer. The hunting ethic he learned from his grandfather—one shot, one kill—served him well when this 180-class typical streaked past him in hot pursuit of a doe. Using his grandfather’s single-shot .30-06 and a bullet the older man hand-loaded himself, Wilson kept his cool and dropped the almost perfectly symmetrical 10-pointer with a 150-yard shot.

What part of Kentucky do you hunt in TheCrusher"
congrats, thats an amazing deer. Its great to see hunters who have a strong hunting ethic and appreciation for the the animals succeed. Today i see a fair amount of hunters who lack a decent hunting ethic, but its great to see someone like yourself harvest an amazing buck, well done!

Thats the kind of deer people dream of shooting. Incredible buck, Congrats!
nice deer indeed, i wish i get one of those one day
WOW thats a nice buck.
Devon - super nice buck, and taken with your own Grandpa's rifle and his handloads too.
Wow, what a wonderful memory and stories for you to pass down to your own sons & daughters - as they listen to your tale of harvesting the buck and gazing from the regal majesty of it on the wall - and back to you again.
That's what fires the imagination of young minds, and cements the bonds of family and honor for the generations.
HEARTY CONGRADUATIONS..!!!
