Persistence paid off for Norman “Steve” Stephenson of Richmond, Virginia, saw this big 9-pointer on Nov. 19, 2008, but couldn’t get a shot. Seven days and 45-plus-hours-on-a-stand later, Steve closed the deal. With a 20-inch spread, Steve’s buck scored 134 inches.

“After 60 years of hunting and at the age of 70 my passion for whitetails stills burns in my heart,” Steve said. “This is a very good buck for the area I hunt in Virginia.”
