Over the course of the past two hunting seasons, traditional bowhunter Mark Huvall has had his eye on a particular buck on his Avoyelles Parish hunting club. He didn’t have a shot at the buck earlier this season, but passed up shots at the big buck last year on three occasions. When the 12-point walked up to within 6 yards of his ground blind on Dec. 26, however, Huvall figured this was the right time. His arrow found the mark, and Huvall claimed what turned out to be a massive buck that taped out at more than 200 inches Pope & Young that could be the biggest buck ever taken with archery equipment if it ultimately is scored as a typical rack.
The kill moved him to the top of the Simmons Sporting Goods Big Buck Contest’s Archery and Largest Louisiana...

Bastrop hunter kills 180-class opening-day buck despite muggy weather
- Opening day (Nov. 19) in Area 4 dawned warm and muggy, and Bastrop insurance agent Bardell Bostick decided to sleep in that morning. However, his hunting buddy talked him into going to his stand that afternoon, and he’s glad he did.

Husband gives wife permission to down 160-class buck
- As a first-grade teacher at Sterlington Elementary School, Melissa Winkler is accustomed to her students asking her permission for things they want or need to do. The shoe was on the other foot Jan. 2 when Winkler phoned her husband to get his approval before shooting a big buck she was looking at 90 yards away – she had shot a 9-point earlier in the season, and he wanted her to hold off on shooting another buck unless it was larger.
This buck obviously was: From her vantage point, she could count 10 points. With hubby’s okay, she shot and downed a huge-racked deer that actually sported 12 points (13 if a broken point was counted).Must Read
Belated Bucks
In the northwest corner of Louisiana, Red River bass fishing guide Russ McVey sits in a box stand overlooking a pipeline with his daughter Madison about to run out of iPod battery. They hope a buck trying to recover from the rut wants to grab a few kernels of corn.
If you hunt North Louisiana and you think your best days for this season are behind you, you couldn’t be more wrong.
In the northwest corner of Louisiana, Red River bass fishing guide Russ McVey sits in a box stand overlooking a pipeline with his daughter Madison about to run out of iPod battery. They hope a buck trying to recover from the rut wants to grab a few kernels of corn.One hundred miles to the east, University of Louisiana-Monroe finance major Jayson Calhoun, smelling like the scent line he drug on his way in, rides a swaying tree trunk in his climber. He hopes a buck crosses the road that divides his lease from his buddy’s to look for a doe that to this point has gone unbred.
The only thing McVey and Calhoun have in common is that they are both deer hunting North Louisiana during January.Everything else about the way they hunt is different.
McVey puts out corn the day before he hunts with a spreader attached to his ATV, whereas Calhoun sneaks in without a smell or a sound to spread some rice bran, and he gets out just as quickly as he got...
