Archery season, in the Bitterroot valley, where this whitetail was taken, began September 1st and ended October 14th.  That was just enough time for this area resident to have a successful 2012 archery season.

Tony Jones, who works in sales at Industrial Lumber in Hamilton, snagged this massive whitetail with his bow in the river bottom in Corvallis this year.  He got a special archery-only tag that allows him to harvest either sex deer only on the river bottom.

This monster deer may not be his first buck, but I bet he is one of his biggest!  Way to go, Tony!
