MBA Life Member Alton Rivers of Yazoo City took this mature 9 point on December the 29th. Below is Alton's own account of his bow-harvest experience. Congratulations Alton on taking this fine animal and for sharing it with our bowhunting community.

"I took this 9 point buck at 5:00 P.M. on December 29, 2007. He was broadside at 27 yards. I hit him through the left shoulder and the broadhead lodged in the right shoulder. He ran about 150 yards, has a 17 inch inside spread with 23 & 24 in main beams. He weighed 220 pounds. I have a trail camera and got a picture of this buck on October 31 at a scrape. I was shooting a Mathews Conquest 2 bow with Gold Tip arrows and a Rage 3 blade expandable broadhead. This was my third buck and a good one to end the season. My earlier kills were another 9 point and an 8 point."
