Two Giles hunters down great bucks on Election Day

Giles County school teacher Mitch Reed sent in these shots of two hunters — Stewart Gillespee and Craig Cunningham — who had a great day on Election Day. Here’s what Reed wrote about the two hunters and their trophies:

“They work in the same department, at the same job, and are members of the same hunt club in Giles County.

Both were also hunting on the first Tuesday of muzzleloader week, and killed these two monsters very close to one another at around the same time.  Gillespee (pictured with his son, Walker) killed the monster 10-pointer  with the extra large G2 & G3′s. Cunningham killed the large 9-pointer..(really a great 8-point with a small extra point), while his hunting fanatic 8th grade son was at school and received the news and pictures from a teacher (me) ;) .   He acted a little bit jealous!

Both deserve these two big ones as they always let the little bucks walk.”

Great bucks!
