## Caption

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.⁠
