The "Mel Johnson" Buck

Mel Johnson tells us the tale of how he hunted down his legendary whitetail. Bowhunting is full of numerous stories about giant whitetails, but no other typical white-tailed deer harvested by an archer has ever eclipsed this monster taken by Mel Johnson in 1965 from Illinois. Mel shot this magnificent buck using a re-curve bow from a ground blind.

With a typical score of 204 4/8, this buck is the only North American big game animal to ever receive both the Ishi and Sagamore Hill awards, the highest recognition that the Pope & Young and Boone & Crockett clubs bestow on big game hunters.
