Vernon Holt's 1995 8-Point

This is one of the best racks Vernon Holt has taken. An 8-point whitetail weighing 150 lbs. live weight. It was the third opportunity he had at this good buck...First a miss with his bow when the arrow hit a small tree just short of the walking buck, then a misfire on a reload (that I had loaded for him, don't want to discuss it.) and then the third time was the charm! Somehow this rack was supposed to be claimed by him. He has hunted whitetails many years and has harvested many bucks while living on the coast of Georgia. There, a good rack is 15" wide and the average buck harvested weighs 125 lbs. live weight. The heaviest we weighed was a 156 lbs. 9 pt. he killed with his bow.
