My name is Michael Evans. I am 14 years old and I live in Elmore City, Oklahoma. My dad and I went hunting on Sunday morning, Oct. 28, 2007. It was muzzleloader season and I really wanted to kill a big buck because my 11-year-old brother had already killed three deer this year and one was a really nice buck.

My dad told me that we had to get down out of the tree by 8:40 a.m. so we could make it to church. It was about 8:35 when this buck walked out on my left side. As I was waiting to get a shot he walked back into the trees. Then he came back out of the trees and walked right in front of me.

I said "Hey!" to make him stop, and when he stopped I took my shot. When my dad got there we started looking for him, but he had run so far we almost gave up. Then we found him! He weighed 180 pounds field dressed. He is 26 1/2 inches outside and 19 1/2 inches inside.
