Three of the racks rank among the state's all-time best. Curtis Blankenship of Cyclone bagged a titanic 12-pointer that scored 170 7/8 and was 2003's top-scoring bow-killed typical. Blankenship's buck earned him a tie for the fifth spot in the West Virginia record book.
Chris Clark of Mullens opened a lot of eyes when he bagged a huge 14-point non-typical just before the bow season closed. The big buck, profiled in the August issue of West Virginia Game & Fish, scored 191 2/8. It was the third-largest bow-killed non-typical ever taken in the Mountain State!
