Best Friends Share Glory of Freakish Nebraska Nontypical Whitetail Trophy
Best Friends Share Glory of Freakish Nebraska Nontypical Whitetail Trophy
“One Man Shoots Two Deer” is a headline that seems to pop up every year during the rut, as hunters encounter locked bucks and elect to harvest both animals. Far more rare is the twofer experienced by Kellen Meyer (left) and Jordan Owens.
The pair was hunting on Owens’ farm during the Nebraska firearms season when this 20-point Cornhusker giant topped a hill 250 yards from where the two men were hunkered down at opposite ends of a U-shaped draw. Learn how these lifelong friends handled what may be the most unusual success story of the season.
Additional Info
The friendship between Kellen Meyer and Jordan Owens of Seward County, Nebraska, which began in grade school, would most likely have hit a serious rough patch if either hunter had been a lesser person. When they both scored shots that brought down this high-mass, 228 B&C nontypical whitetail buck, the hunters decided to share their success. Steve Hill got the story of how these lifelong friends handled what may be the most unusual success story of the season.

Congratulations guys! Great deer! Thank you for having the character to rise above what most men would stoop to. You both deserve this great deer!
Great deer guys.
3 Trophies in one picture!!!
Don't know that I'd be real comfortable hunting within sight of another hunter where we could both shoot at the same deer at the same time. Kudos to the guys for finding a good solution and not fighting over the deer, though. Amazing buck.
That is a remarkable buck. Very smart by those 2 to not ruin a lifetime of friendship over a deer. Most people would sit there and argue for years and never reach common ground. Makes a great mantle piece!
NIce buck!
Thats how it should be. i think its cooler sharing it and its such a good story to share with a good friend. Congrats guys amazing buck
And the English think they are the only gentlemen hunters out there!
Awesome buck! Awesome story too. Greed can ruin relationships and the sport of hunting if we're not careful. It is nice to see a buck that insane go to a couple of guys with their heads on staight.
Very mature, wise, and outstanding young gentlemen hunters. Very proud of them and I greatly admire them and their friendship. Well done!!
they should just change it between houses everymonth or so.awesome sttory!!!!
True Friends.
so much for all the negative crap we hear about young people...there ARE young people involved in hunting(and other outdoor activities) and they are NOT all selfish and self centered...great story...my son, both daughters, son-in laws and grandkids all hunt, fish and shoot, it keeps us spending quality time together
Always nice to hear a story about good things happening to good people!
Good on them for handling it like men and not getting into a fight over it. As far as I can tell, they have one tag left between them so they can get back out there and get another deer.
Reminds of the biblical story of the 2 women fighting over the same baby. The wise judge, in order to find out who the real mother was, said ok we'll cut him in half! Now wouldn't that be a shame if this buck was split down the middle? haha.
Now that is true friendship. My hat is off to both of you. Not only for harvesting such a beautiful animal. But for making the right decission when it was all said and done. Cragrats to you both and your parents for raising a couple awesome kids
All i can say is wow !!!! Great job =)
