Last Sunday, September 24th, the young hunter made the most of his rare opportunity, shooting a giant 8×10 bull that green scored 390 inches and dressed out at nearly 1,000 pounds
The early teal hunting season ran from September 2-6, early goose started September 2 and goes through September 17th and Bear hunting started September 1st and continues through October 15.
Legend has it that the tale goes back to the 1880s when settlers passed around stories of a giant pheasant, a bird so big that its footprints in the soft ground made creeks and river valleys.
