The Double
Two-for-one first time hunting experience will be hard to top
Before the first rays of sunshine appeared Nov. 8, Morgen Priest, 22, and her father, Mark were out driving around in a truck hunting.
Priest, an Angelo State University senior, came home with an unforgettable first-timer's hunting story: She shot a 12-point buck, and entangled in its antlers was a decomposing 9-point buck.
"The grass was really high so we couldn't see exactly what it was until we walked right up to it," Priest said.
Doug Seamands, a San Angelo game warden, said shooting a buck with a another buck entangled in its antlers is extremely rare.
Bucks battle one another for does, fencing with their antlers and sometimes fighting to the death, he said.
Priest said she went on the hunting trip at 7D Ranch just outside of San Angelo to spend time with her dad.
"The whole experience was crazy, I was speechless, wowed, stunned and in shock," she said. "My hands were shaking I couldn't believe I had killed something."
The game warden said it was a first for him as well.
"I've been a game warden for 18 years and hunted all my life and have never heard of anything like that before," Seamands said. "It is extremely unusual."
Priest says the two bucks will be mounted together on a mesquite pedestal with their antlers locked.
"I'm going to call them Hook and Hooker," she said.
