Eric Hale ~ Kansas 131 7/8 ~ 9 1/2 Year Old Whitetail
Eric has been hunting Kansas for several years and has been fortunate enough to continue a long term lease with his land owner and good friend. Since 2004, he has been getting pictures of a buck he names the big 7. Eric has only saw this buck 3 times during day light while hunting and finally caught up with him this year. Eric and Chris hung Millenium tree stands specifically for this buck in what they call their super funnel. Sure enough fate took over on the evening of November 14th. Thirty minutes before dark, the big 7 walked into the funnel, worked a scrape and marched straight into the stand offering Eric a 27 yard shot. After the impact, the buck ran only 50 yards and fell on film. A six year quest for a true Kansas legend has ended. Check out this hunt on Season 2 of The Legends Of The Fall.
