I had the privilege of writing a story 36 years ago of an impressive buck taken by the late Tommy Simmons of Ruston. On November 13, 1986 Simmons was hunting in northern Lincoln Parish when a buster of a buck stepped out and he dropped the 12 point. I still recall the emotion Simmons shared with me as he told his story. Although this was before antler score and measurements were in vogue his buck was likely in the 160 inch class.
