In the area around Tabor City, North Carolina, bucks with live weights of 200 pounds or more are exceptional. But on Oct. 29, 1991, 13-year-old Jake Fonvielle showed that they're around. Jake was watching a beanfield when the big 8-pointer came out with a doe at 5 p.m. The young rifleman made a 45-yard shot to down his trophy, which has a gross B&C score of 139 and a live weight of 211 pounds.
