Heidi Munoz RIFLE. It must run in the family... Where's DAVE? Heidi, wife of last years overall winner, harvested this fine deer in Area 102 with a .243 When asked where Dave's harvest was... we're going to have to wait until 2009, apparently Dave harvested a "decent" one but not near as nice as last year's monster. When you have the reputation as the "Big Buck King", I guess you have to be a little picky... Thank you Munoz family for entering the contest and sharing your nice harvests. Congrats Heidi!
