My son, James Hassler, shot this buck near our home of Kipling, Saskatchewan Canada. The buck was harvested during the archery season in mid September. He was hunting from a treestand that had been set up on land belonging to friends of our family.

The deer is a 6x7 large bodied buck that rough scores in the mid 180's. James used a Martin Leopard 50 lb compound bow to harvest this amazing animal.

Congratulations James!! What a great year of hunting!!
