Here’s an entertaining deer hunting story fresh out of the woods of eastern Texas that hunters everywhere can learn a few good lessons from. Clayton Corley spent nearly two years getting his education.
Corley is a Lufkin archer who arrowed his first deer with a bow when he was only 8 years old. Corley claims he has brought down close to two dozen other whitetails since, but none to compare to the 12-point bruiser he arrowed shortly after daylight on October 22.
Veteran Pope and Young/Texas Big Game Awards scorer Ben Bartlett called the buck the highest scoring archery-killed whitetail he has ever taped from Angelina County. Bartlett green scored the buck at 161 gross and 152 2/8 net as a non-typical, according to the Boone and Crockett scoring system. Green scores are tallied before that antlers are allowed to dry for 60 days.
