"Virginia Hunters Achieve Dream Buck Double with 200-Plus-Inch Trophy"

A father-son hunting duo in Virginia experienced a double success when they both harvested impressive bucks. After spotting a massive buck on their property, the son, James, had to return to work, but his father, Jimmy, continued hunting diligently. Jimmy eventually shot a beautiful 8-point buck, and when James returned, his father excitedly called him to share that he had just taken down the biggest buck he had ever seen. The buck has 15 scorable points and a gross green score of 211 inches B&C, potentially ranking in the top 20 nontypicals in Virginia history. This is the largest buck ever taken by someone in their family, making it a special moment for both father and son.
