IPSWICH, S.D., Dec. 29 (UPI) -- A South Dakota veterinarian and bow-hunting enthusiast with two artificial legs used his walker to drag a record-breaking buck to a clearing.
"I knew there was a big coyote around, and I didn't want the buck to get chewed up," Dr. Dave Myers told the Aberdeen American News. "It took me about 25 minutes to drag him out with my walker. I was inching him a little bit at a time. But I paid for it, because my legs and back were stiff and sore for days."
Myers and some other hunters had been tracking the massive buck, estimated to be 6 years old, for several years. The buck weighed 290 pounds.
"I have been hunting all of my life, and this guy was so impressive," Myers said. "He had been hunted hard for the last few years, and I don't think he even came within rifle range of anyone before. A lot of luck goes into getting a buck like this, and I was very fortunate."
