wyoming Logger Wins Buck Photo contest

摘要

A rancher and self-employed logger in Wyoming submitted a photo of a 10-point mule deer to win the Big Buck Photo Contest sponsored by Pallet Enterprise. The photo entered by Tim Jones also showed his 2-1/2-year-old son, Kacy. The winner in the youthhunter category was Micaiah Mullins of Rainer, Ore., who killed an 11-point buck on a hunting trip to Colorado. His kill also was a mule deer. Tim, 34, makes his home in Newcastle, which is in the northeast corner of the Black Hills and just a short distance from the South Dakota state line. Tim was trailing a different buck on his ranch. The deer went trotting into some underbrush, and the deer he bagged emerged from under a tree. He shot at the buck twice - and hit him both times - at a distance of about 80 yards while the animal was running. The buck ran about 15 more yards after being shot and collapsed. Tim was using a Remington 7 mm rifle equipped with a Tasco 3x9 scope.
