Micalah Millard remained as calm about the final scoring of her record-book Oklahoma whitetail buck as she was when the 14-year-old put the cross-hairs on the critter during Oklahoma’s youth deer hunting season.

“This is the second-largest typical buck I’ve ever scored, and I’ve scored a thousand of ’em so, I’m proud of ya, and I’m excited to be a part of this story,” Boone & Crockett certified scorer George Moore told the young hunter.

She simply smiled and said, “Thank you.”
