Bob Phillips bagged an eight-point buck on December 19 while hunting in Claiborne County. The deer weighed 210 pounds and the rack measured 16-3/8 inches inside. The note with the photo of Bob and Stan Priest said that Bob shot the deer with a .270 while it was in an open field. The buck then ran into the woods. Bob followed it up, but could not find any blood. After Stan finished his hunt, he came over and helped Bob find the buck about 75 yards into the woods.
Congrats Bob!

Bob Phillips came up the other day with a photo of his wife Marian and a deer she got on Brown's Point New Years Eve. The deer was an 8-point with 16 inches of inside spread that weighed in at 190 pounds. A nice trophy in anyone's book. However, the tale Bob told is that this was Marian's fourth deer this year and he claimed that he would have done better than he did if he had not spent so much time hauling Marian's deer out of the woods. Come off it, Bob. We all know who the hunter was.
