COLUMBIA, Mo. – Bow hunter Bill Wise of Columbia has some newfound fame after bagging one of the world's largest set of white-tail deer antlers. Wise shot a 300-pound buck in Howard County in December.
After a month-long investigation by state wildlife officials determined no wrongdoing, Wise is able to celebrate his catch. The buck had a 19-point rack measuring more than 17 feet, or 210 inches. The deer-scoring company Buckmasters says that's the second largest rack it's ever seen.
Wise says he first saw the deer n November and put off work as a homebuilder hunting it for the next month. His wife, Tara, says a number of companies are now seeking out her husband for endorsements.
