Game Plan

Vicksburg resident Scooter Whatley spent the first weekend of November bowhunting in Pike County, Illinois. Although he has been bowhunting for 20 years, he had never actually shot a deer — until this trip. On the first hour of his five-day hunting trip, this 8-pointer with a split brow tine wandered into view. Whatley took his shot and hit, taking down the 255-pound buck. He spent the rest of the week videotaping the hunting adventures of his friends on the trip, but he was the only one among them who harvested a deer.
