A father joked that his 11-year-old son is basically ruined for hunting after helping make the kill of a lifetime with a 22-point buck.

Corin Berryhill and his son, Mason, were following a long-standing tradition of hunting the second day of opening weekend of firearms deer season when they found the buck they thought had gotten away. The previous day, Berryhill had been out with his 16-year-old daughter, Addison, when the pair spied the "King of the County."

"The smart old buck that he is, he never would give us a shot," Berryhill, who works in construction, said about spotting the same deer in 2021.
