Darrell Berg of Rock Lake


Darrell Berg of Rock Lake, N.D., shot this whitetail buck on his land near Rock Lake during North Dakota’s deer gun season. According to his mother-in-law, Wynn Haberstroh, who submitted the photo, Berg had spent 35 days bowhunting trying to bag the buck before shooting it with a Browning 30-.06 rifle at a distance of 250 yards. The buck, which has a nontypical rack, has 16 countable points (eight on each side), including a 4½-inch drop tine and a 14-inch double main beam. The buck weighed 225 pounds field-dressed, Haberstroh writes.
