In December I harvested a green score 192 2/8 SCI non-typical with a perfect 5x5 main frame and 3 non-typical points on each side. Each side also had a beautiful drop tine and a double eye guard on the left.

"After still-hunting in steep, high-altitude pines all day we took this big muley buck at 2:00 p.m. after sneaking to within 30 yards of him," says Jason E. Golly, of Orem, Utah. "This is the second big buck we've taken from this spot in as many years and both times I forgot to put my camera in my backpack! We had to bone and cape him out due to the nasty terrain so this is the best photo we could get. Equipment--Browning bow, Gold Tip 5575 arrow, NAP Spitfire broadhead."Field & Stream Online Editors

"We got to within 200 yards of the billy, but either because I can't shoot a gun or the gun being dropped out of the boat before the hike, I missed. Fortunately I had brought along my bow, so I grabbed it and took off at a dead run, straight down the hill and straight back up, to get to where he had stopped.
"With no strength left because of my mad dash it took every thing I had to pull my bow back at 40 yards. I killed him with my second shot. If I had more time I would tell you about running out of day light, running back up the mountain for my backpack, almost breaking my neck, hiking off the mountain in the dark, passing out twice, plus many many other scary but exciting adventures on our way back to camp." --Shane YearianField & Stream Online Editors

"Last year my best friend and I were out bass fishing when we saw these huge fish jumping out of the water. After getting close to one we dicovered that they were huge carp. Being an avid bowhunter I decided I wanted to try and shoot them with my bow.
"After missing a few i finally hit this one. It took us over half an hour to get it into the boat. When we hung it on my scale we determined it weighed 53 pounds (the scale only goes up to 50 pounds but it wrapped around to the 3 again).
"About a month later my best friend told me he had read on the Massachussetts wildlife page that the state record for carp was 44 pounds and that carp could be taken with bow and arrow for the record. Boy I sure wish I could had that fish back to turn it in. Oh well I know where there are more for next year!" --Jason CanadayField & Stream Online Editors
