Archer lives dream, doubles up on 10-point bucks
Persistence. And a little luck.
Both paid off recently for Luke Hegge, an avid bow hunter from Pine City.
Hegge, 33, who has been bow hunting since he was 12, was deer hunting with a friend at the Camp Ripley archery hunt earlier this month when he encountered not one monster buck but two big 10-pointers.
And bagged them both.
“I saw the second deer first, and rattled my antlers, but he kept going,” Hegge said. He kept rattling. “Ten minutes later, the first one charged over the ridge looking for a fight.”
The 10-pointer was only 3 yards away when Hegge shot it. The green score of its rack was 160 inches — a deer of a lifetime, and the biggest Hegge has ever taken. His friend, hunting nearby, heard the commotion and showed up for some high-fives. They field dressed it and dragged it to his truck, then returned.
“It was only 11:30 a.m.,” Hegge said. “I asked if he wanted to use my stand, but he decided to go back to his. I wasn’t back in my stand 10 minutes when the second deer came running in.”
Hegge, who had been looking at photos of his first buck on his cellphone, set the phone down, grabbed his bow and arrowed the second buck, a 10-pointer with a 21.5-inch inside spread that green scored 155 inches. (Because he was party hunting with his friend, he legally used his friend’s tag on that deer.)
He’s having both bucks mounted.
“It was a fun day, let me tell you,” Hegge said.
