Local hunter harvests two-antlered buck

Bowhunter Mike Lewis of Fairfax, Missouri, legally harvested two antlered deer in one shot Sunday, October 30, during archery season. The deer he harvested still had the skull and antlers of another deer locked in its rack. Mike contacted Nodaway County Agent Kris Smith after recovering the deer and asked for a wildlife disposition to legally possess the extra deer skull and antlers. Mike’s story has been covered by Field & Stream, USA Today, and others. (Photo taken from Missouri Department of Conservation Facebook page)
