Brenton Brown of Kalispell, Montana is a 21-year-old student at Oklahoma Christian University in Oklahoma City. On the morning of Nov. 3, 2005, he headed out to some land just west of Oklahoma City on which he had obtained permission to hunt. Brenton had been watching a small group of does for the past few weeks, and he now hoped to harverst one with his new Hoyt bow. He finally reached his stand after enduring a number of frustrating events like waking up late, forgetting his face mask and misplacing his water bottle. But just as he got to his stand, he jumped the very group of does that he had hoped to hunt. Thinking quickly, Brenton dropped his backpack on the ground and ran up a hill behind some thick brush in an effort to intercept the spooked does. "To my utter shock, I did not see a single doe," Brenton said. "What I did see was a monster buck and he was oblivious to my position because he was busy chasing one of the does. I drew my Hoyt, whistled to stop him and my arrow found its mark. Previously I had taken numerous bucks with a rifle but this was my first buck with a bow and by far my biggest ever!" Brenton's long-tined 4x5 trophy green-scored 151 6/8.
