155-inch monster buck killed near Fayette

Louisiana's Charles Blake crossed the border to take this beautiful Mississippi buck on his property near Fayette on Dec. 22.

Louisiana hunter downs ‘King of the Jungle.’

A little scouting after last season paid off big time this year for a Louisiana hunter who bagged a nice Mississippi 10-pointer dubbed the “King of the Jungle.”

Blake Charles shot the 155-inch buck on a morning hunt on his property on Dec. 22 near Fayette.

“I was hunting a spot I had found last year after hunter season that had a lot of sign, and I hadn’t been in there this year,” Charles said.

He was hunting on the ground overlooking a deep bottom when the deer appeared early that morning.

“I was sitting on a stool in a clump of trees and about 7 o’clock, I heard something to my right,” he said. “When I looked there, he was staring at me on an old logging road at about 60 yards.

“I didn’t move, and he stared at me I guess for about a minute.”
