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.
