Feazell got the big buck early last November while bow hunting on private property on Tinker Mountain.

Matt Knox, the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries deer biologist, scored Feazell’s buck on the Pope & Young archery scale. The 22-point buck racked up 221 2/8 points. The previous Virginia Pope & Young non-typical record was taken in 2006 in Henry County and scored 197 3/8 points.

Feazell and his buck will be among the featured exhibitors at the Virginia Outdoor Sportsman Show in Mechanicsville August 13-15.
