Mike Coyne and his dad were hunting in late December when they saw two different 8 pointers - a 90" buck and a 100" buck. A few days later Mike had a young 90" seven pointer come within 30 yards of his stand around 7:30 am.


Later that morning Mike caught movement as two deer headed off the hill towards his stand. The first deer was a bigger bodied buck, but as the buck approached Mike realized it had shed its antlers. With the an 8 pointer close behind the shed buck Mike prepared to take the shot. At 35 yards the buck gave Mike a slightly quartering away shot.


The buck ran off and was out of sight after crossing over a stone wall 40 yards away. When Mike found the buck he was just 20 yards past the stone wall. The buck scored 103 5/8" and was aged at 3 1/2 years old.
