<p>

He got a nice pic with his trail camera of the buck a little over a month ago. The buck was quickly nicknamed 'Hightower' because of his massive/tall G's.

<p>His cousin, Chris Skeele, wrote:</p>

<p>"The three other guys in our hunting club (including myself) are convinced that my cousin Jeff Skeele gets as much satisfaction out of shooting deer with his trail cameras as he does with his gun. Wow! This past Saturday he got to capitalize on the later.</p>

<p>"This is a deer that we believe has been on the farm for a couple of years now. Our club has practiced QDM for the past 10 years on a combination of leased land and a dairy farm we have access to.</p>

<p>"A little over a month ago Jeff captured this fall monarch on one of his many trail cameras. The buck was quickly nicknamed 'Hightower' because of his massive/tall G's. Jeff made it perfectly clear that there was only one deer he would pull the trigger on if given the opportunity.</p>

<p>"That opportunity happened to be this past Saturday at about 8:00 a.m. 'Hightower' presented himself after stepping into a clearing while scent checking a couple of does. </p>

<p>"Jeff delivered a 100 yard kill shot with his TC muzzleloader."</p>
