Lynn Sisson with a couple of tremendous bucks

Lynn Sisson had to have his nephew send me these shots because he was having trouble. He clearly didn’t struggle during hunting season!

The top buck was killed in Shawsville on Nov. 23, with a rifle. The 10-pointer had a 19-inch spread.

Sisson, who lives in Shawsville, killed the second buck in Montgomery County during the early muzzleloader season. It had a 21-inch spread and 10-inch G2s. One of the brow tines was broken off, but the other was 9 inches long. I probably would have let this deer walk because of the broken brow tine….NOT! What a buck.

Actually, what a pair of bucks! Congrats, Lynn!
