Avid bowhunters love Ohio deer hunting, and well they should: Gun season doesn't open until after Thanksgiving, meaning the peak rut is reserved for stick and string. Gary Gray took advantage of that fact during the 1997 season, arrowing this monster 12-pointer on Nov. 20. The deer had a "green" score of 173 7/8 B&C points, thanks in part to 29-inch main beams. Gary shot the deer near his home in Columbia Station.
