2005 Cowinner: The Jeff Severson Buck
On the eve of the 2004 deer season, Jeff Severson of Rice Lake, Wis., and his nephew, Shane Thome, decided they would settle for nothing less than record book bucks. Ditto for Barb, Jeff’s wife. And they all agreed that chances were best if they could get draw...
 

2005 Cowinner: The Brad Jerman Buck
The kiss of death. Two snorts, followed by the noisy exit of a deer. Despite my best effort at stealth, after 45 minutes of crawling in the dark and groping for a limb on which to hang an estrous-scented wick, a briar scratched loudly against my pants. I was...
 

2004: The Justin Hogan Buck
If a tree falls in the woods, and there is no one there to hear it, does it make a sound? What if, instead of a tree, it’s a world-class whitetail? Justin Hogan of Densmore, Kan., wasn’t around when a humongous deer made its final bed last year in a Phillips...
 

2003: The Jerry Bryant Buck
Strangely, the buck didn’t react to the loud pop of the crossbow’s string. The deer didn’t charge off toward parts unknown. It merely stood there, sort of bobbing its head and pawing the ground. "I thought he was just peeved," remembers Jerry Bryant. There w...
 

2002 Cowinner: The Wayne Zaft Buck
It seems fitting that Alberta, Canada, the birthplace of Buckmasters’ Full-Credit Scoring System, has yielded the new No. 1 Typical in the BTR’s compound bow category. The five-year reign of the Sam Collora Buck from Iowa came to an end on Oct. 8, 2001, when W...
 

2002 Cowinner: The Troy Wilson Buck
  For Troy Wilson of Mt. Sterling, Ky., success in the deer woods has always been measured by the lumps in his freezer, not by a measuring tape. The self-proclaimed "meat hunter" has never cared much about what his bucks’ antlers score. As long as he’s a...
 

2001: The Mike Beatty Buck
Fumbling nervously in the darkness for one of his distinctive white-fletched arrows, Mike Beatty had made one of the toughest decisions of his life: to temporarily abandon the search for the monstrous whitetail he’d shot at dusk. Still not convinced that he’d ...
 

2000: The James Stovall Buck
When I heard that Florida’s Green Swamp WMA was going to take in another 38,000 acres of basically virgin territory that had not been hunted for 13 years, I put my name in the hat for one of the 54 permits to be granted for two different bowhunts. Fortunately,...
 

1999 Cowinner: The Dale Larson Buck
As I was listening to the raindrops play their rhythm on the fallen leaves, I noticed the flick of a tail and glimpsed a deer’s antler. The buck was about 90 yards distant, walking along a brushy fence line — traveling perpendicular and away from my position. ...
