Jesse Stallings and his biggest bow buck

Jesse Stallings filled his last tag Dec. 28 on his biggest bow buck on public land in Area 1.

“I had seen five other bucks that morning and a few does mixed in. I had a doe come running under the tree I was in with two smaller bucks hot on her trail, and not even 5 minutes later this one came walking down the same trail they took nose in the air. When I saw him I knew he was going to walk right under my tree so I got set up and was able to take the shot at 7 yards. The arrow flew true and I heard him crash just out of sight.”
