Zach BarkerKill of a lifetime? Try two lifetimes.

Ohio native Zach Barker, 12, killed this 11-point buck in Perry County in Southeast Ohio, and grandfather Ronald Gleason Sr., who accompanied the young hunter, couldn’t be more proud.

“This was probably the greatest moment that I have ever experienced in all the years I’ve been hunting,” said Gleason, the self-proclaimed “happiest grandpa in the world.”

      We haven't had him officially scored yet. We can pick him up at the taxidermist in about 2 1/2 weeks and then we'll get him scored.
