Sam Saxon of 101 Dailey, an Armco Steel employee, bagged a remarkable buck in Houston County after a long 20 year hunt. The 100 pound field dressed deer had a moose-like rack with 2 to 15 points and 18 inch spread. Saxon used a 3030, ending the hunt at 3 30 p.m. The piece also recalls a West Texas mule deer chase where multiple hunters fired at a fleeing animal, and ends with advice from Jim Nelson on new gun laws.
