Moose Droppings

This I believe is one of two bucks I’ve heard about that will score around 150 taken in the first couple of weeks of the 2006 Archery season. The photo quality is not great because it’s a scan of the newspaper but I’m sure you can see how impressive a buck this is.

Jerrold Wade of Arcadia became the latest deer hunter to take advantage of Stokes County’s penchant for producing big bucks …Joey Thompson, an official scorer for the N.C. Bow Hunters Association, met Wade when he brought the buck to John Brown’s Country Store No. 2 in King late that evening to register his kill. Thompson put a tape on the big 11-point buck and green-scored it at 1584/8 non-typical and 1452/8 typical.

It looks like the 2 buck limit is working and hopefully we’ll see that statewide at some point. We’ll also keep looking for information on any other large bucks killed in North Carolina.
