Harley Whitaker's decision to skip classes one Monday paid off when the buck he'd been chasing finally stepped into bow range.
When Whitaker walked over to the downed deer and was stunned at its its size — he estimates it was around 250 pounds. Even more remarkable was the rack, which had three big main beams. He called his fiancée’s mom, who drove a UTV to Whitaker along with her high-school age son Jacob. The three of them loaded the buck onto the UTV and returned to a farm building where the deer was field dressed and caped for mounting by a taxidermist friend. The nontypical buck has 18 points, and while it hasn’t been properly green scored, people who’ve seen it have guessed around 170 inches.
