Jake Fonvielle, North Carolina

September 22, 2010

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.
