It worked albeit badly. If Jim hadn’t broken that buck’s back after multiple shots there likely wouldn’t have been a Jordan Buck.
I think that Deer and Deer Hunting magazine it was ran the story of the Jordan Buck years ago that was an interesting read. Those guys were subsistence level hunters back in those days and Jim didn’t even realize what he had with that set of antlers. A taxidermist out of Minnesota did and he swiped the rack. Luckily Jim had an old photograph of the buck that proved it was his and he finally got the credit for having shot the deer. It was recognized as the world record whitetail for years until Milo Hanson, a farmer in Saskatchewan, beat it in the 1993.
