Tony Lloyd makes good on second chance at 14-pointer
Tony Lloyd shot this buck in Bedford County with his bow on the opening day of archery season. But after searching that evening and the next morning he couldn't find the animal.
Fortunately, Lloyd started getting reports that the big buck was still afoot. One of those reported sightings came on Nov. 8, so Lloyd bailed out of his stand and hustled to the same stand he was hunting way back on Oct. 4. He had barely gotten settled when the buck showed back up. This time the shot was good and Lloyd soon had his hands on this awesome 14-pointer.
While dressing the animal he found part of his arrow imbedded in the buck's spine.
Tony what a story, dude I'm lost for words right now. To shoot a buck of this magitude and find out you didn't bring him down, would have killed me! But to get a second crack at this beast, is truely a blessing. I don't know if it is luck or fate, but it's yours now.....Congradulations Tony! Wow

That is one heck of a story. What county was this monster taken in?
-- Bedford County. Sorry I forgot to include that. I'll add that right now. mt

Tony,
Congrats on finally getting such an outstanding buck. If a buck like that slipped away from me I would have had a lot of trouble sleeping at night. It looks like there are some outstanding genetics in the herd you hunt so there should be good deer like that waiting for you for years to come. Again, great job on harvesting such an impressive animal.
