Gary Peters takes early lead in Democrat Big Buck

Posted

SULLIVAN COUNTY – Gary Peters of Callicoon shot the buck of a lifetime on Sunday, November 21, when he bagged a big 10-pointer while hunting in the Town of Fremont.

The big 10-pointer scored 78 in the 48th Annual Sullivan County Democrat Big Buck Contest to take the early lead.

Gary’s deer had a 21-inch outside spread with nearly identical 23.25 and 23.75-inch beams. It also dressed at 140.

Gary’s buck was the only entry that scored in the “70s,” a benchmark for big rack buck in Sullivan County.

However, Gary’s son, Henry Peters, outdid his dad on the weight end, bagging an 8-pointer that dressed at 142.6 lbs. and scored 63.25 in the Democrat’s Big Buck Contest.

That buck was also taken in the Town of Fremont and featured a 17-inch spread with 19.25 and 19-inch main beams.

Mike Wingert of Woodbourne, hunting in the Town of Cochecton, is the current leader in the Democrat’s Heavy Deer Contest, bagging a big 8 pointer which field dressed at 151. Wingert’s buck scored 64.5 in the Democrat Big Buck Contest with a 16-inch spread and 20 and 20.5-inch beams.

Second place in the heavy deer contest is currently held by Ashley Diehl of Callicoon, who was hunting on the family farm when she bagged a beautiful 5-pointer that dressed 145 lbs.

Diehl’s buck scored 61 in the Democrat Contest with a 17.5-inch spread and 19 and 19.5-inch main beams.
