This large buck, which dressed out at 183 lbs., was killed by Tom Scibetta, 74, of Pompey on family-owned property.

His daughter, Sandra Skeval, wrote: "He spotted him as the deer stood exactly where he needed to amongst some brush with about a one foot square area open in which to shoot. He had no idea of the size, nor that it was an eight-point until he tracked it a mere 12 yards away.

"His knees literally buckled when he saw the largest deer he had killed in over 50 years of bow hunting lying shot through both lungs and the heart!"
