Allen Treadwell’s Best Buck Deer Scored 164

We were hunting in Oklahoma and had talked to some bowhunters who had seen a big buck on the edge of a milo field. They said there was no way they could hunt this good deer with their bows. One of the problems with the word “a good deer” is the person that’s qualifying the size of the deer. “A good deer” by some hunter’s standards may be a buck that scores 110 inches. When

Field Judging Black Bears

Ask any experienced hunter and they’ll tell you that black bears are among the most difficult big game animals to field judge. Part of that is because they’re far less common than deer, so hunters just don’t get much experience seeing them. And part is just the nature of the beast. Any large, black carnivorous animal will look big, especially if you don’t have something for scale nearby.
