Mississippi Bowhunters Association member Floyd Patterson of Starkville, MS has reason to have a big smile. On 12-28-2011 he was able to take this mature trophy whitetail with his Mathews Reezen bow during a morning bowhunt in Oktibbeha County, Starkville, MS. Congratulations Floyd on taking this record book buck and thanks for sharing him with our bowhunting community.

Floyd entered his buck in the MS Wildlife Federation Extravaganza this month (August, 2012) and he placed second in the men’s archery division.
