Has anyone seen a picture of these two Michigan “hogs?” Sorry that the picture didn’t turn out very well, but you get the idea of the size of these monsters. The one on the left is a 9-point and the one on the right is a 19-point, and both were taken with bow and arrows!
Bob Reits harvested the “world class” buck dubbed “twin towers” which scored an incredible 209 Boone and Crockett points. He had been hunting this particular deer for several years, and his savvy, persistence, and a little luck paid off big time! The buck was aged at 7-1/2 years, and had a dressed weight of 207 pounds. You know this was one big deer, as he had probably lost a few pounds during the pre-rut, when Bob nailed him. Michigans reputation for producing big bucks will continue to grow if bucks, like this, continue to show up during hunting season.
Scott Norkey took the wide spread 9-pointer (21 inches) which dressed out at 193 pounds. If you can believe it Scott shot a monster record class 17-pointer just last year in the same area of Lenawee county. Who says lightning can’t strike twice. Scott has not had this deer scored yet, but a good guess would be the upper 160’s I think. I don’t want to give away alot of the details on these two deer, as the Dec. issue of “Woods and Water News,” has a great story on both of these fortunate hunters.

Mike,
Its good to see some big deer this year. Enjoyed the “tagged” update too. Just got back from MN, and wanted to tell you, there are pheasants EVERYWHERE. Reminded me of 30 yrs ago around Ida, roosters on fence posts, hens huddled tight in the snow. Biggest flock I saw had to have had 40 birds in it. Several had at least 20 or so.
Yes, you are right the deer I harvested last year ended up netting 191. I was blessed to be able to harvest this monster with my bow on 11/1/07.
