Ohio Hunter Takes 200-Class Buck After 5 Years of Frustration
Ohio Hunter Takes 200-Class Buck After 5 Years of Frustration
After dedicating five frustrating years to bowhunting without filling his archery tag, Mark Clinehens faced a decision many hunters have to grapple with sooner or later: Take a less-than-perfect shot on the biggest buck you’ve ever seen, or watch the deer of a lifetime walk out of sight—probably forever. Clinehens took the shot on a 200-class Ohio nontypical, and what happened next offers some potential lessons for bowhunters new to the game and those who think they’ve seen it all.

Very nice Ohio deer.
You did well. I wouldn't second guess anything. Any shot a any angle can go wrong if the deer moves as your releasing. Awesome deer!
Congratulations, Mark, and good job on the recovery.
Awesome deer!! I harvested a 175" about 10 min down the road from there a couple years ago. Again, great deer, and congrats!
Congrats, great buck. Sometimes we need a little luck to harvest a big buck. Both this year and last i was busted at very close range by big bucks before i could get a shot. I keep thinking i'm due for a lucky streak. Again, great job, way to persevere.
I can't imagine the emotional rollercoaster of that hunt. It seems with bowhunting Mr. Murphy is right by your side so expecting a perfect day is more of a fanstasy. Great job at making the most out of the situation and nice buck.
Great buck. Congrats on the harvest and cudos on the follow up when things didn't look promising. Too many people would have given up.
Fantastic Ohio BIG Buck Mark What a Story and recovery of such a Monster North American White Tail Buck and with a bow. He is so perfect and those Brow tine are very impressive Mark.I am another Ohio Hunter and bagged a 24 pt buck on 9/29/2012 his final net score after 60 days was 206.5 inches . Thanks for sharing your Hunt with us the readers of Field and Stream .Good luck Mark in 2013.Awesome Deer.
great looking buck and congrats
Fantastic choice to keep tracking that deer and not just assuming that its wounded. If you hit a deer, bow or gun, you should devote all the time you have to tracking that deer if you have blood...even the tiniest bit. Great buck
Great buck. Crazy brow tines!
Congrats! Great ohio buck!
