No Changes In Big Buck Contest Standings
With most hunters holding off making a run to their lease until Saturday's opening of the regular deer season, it comes as no surprise it was a slow week for the Tyler Morning Telegraph's 32nd Big Buck Contest.
Brownsboro Clay Lemmert continues to lead the North Texas Adult Division of the contest with a 4 ½-year-old, 11-point Henderson County buck scoring 140. All other positions in the contest are open.
