#7 – James R. Cornelius IV (J.R.)

This story really starts on July 7, 2022, with me placing a cell camera in a small field on the top of a hill in the middle of an 800-acre tract of public land here in Kentucky. On July 22, 2022, a...

Every year I travel from Wisconsin to go hunt in lower Michigan, for a 7-9 day hunt during the rut. This year I was on my 7th day of the hunt when I spotted this giant. The morning of 11-11-22 I wa...

This story starts in a coffee shop, over 2000 miles away from the tree I would arrow this buck from. In the slow winter months of 2021, my plans for the next season were already forming. I made a g...

I, like many other kids, grew up with my Dad as a hunter. He mainly hunted on a 40 acre lease that he had with some of his friends. I used to idolize the concept of going away hunting for a weekend...

My grandpa was the person in my life who introduced me to hunting. I shot my first deer with him when I was 12 years old. He had forty acres in mid-Michigan, and I can so clearly remember hunting b...

As September hit I was ready to hit the woods just to be out there. Between trade school and work it was hard to find time to get out and scout. I had very little expectations for the season as I w...

ABOUT TETHRD TEN

OUR FAVORITE SADDLE HUNTING STORIES FROM EACH SEASON

The 'best' is hard to define. What makes it the best for one hunter could be wildly different than another. While a hunter in the Midwest might value the P&Y score more than anything, a DIY public land hunter in the deep South might value the amount of sweat equity expended more than the size of the rack. The self-filmer might value the creativity that went into the imagery or the documentation of the story. Maybe it was a hunter’s first buck, or a Veteran battling his demons who found an escape into the whitetail woods. None of those judgments are wrong. There is no definition of the “best” for the Tethrd Ten.

The Tethrd Ten serialized commemorative coin is only presented to those voted as the best.
You can’t buy it. You can’t grow it. You can’t build it. You must earn it.

The Ten is voted on by saddle hunters and published at the beginning of each new hunting season.
