Bryson Fuller kills 16-point buck in Granville County

While hunting in Granville County, NC on Sept. 28, 2026, Bryson Fuller killed his target whitetail, a 16-point buck, during an evening hunt from the ground.

Fuller shot the buck with a Ravin R10 crossbow from 25 yards away. It was a deer he’d been watching since the 2025 season, when he noticed it as an 8-point with a lot of potential.

“It blew up by the time he showed up on my cameras leading up to the 2026 season,” he said.

Once the 2026 season opened, Fuller hunted this particular deer a total of five times without seeing any sign of it, even though it continued to show up on his trail cameras a couple of times a week. He was watching several other deer on the evening the big one showed up, and Fuller didn’t waste any time putting an end to the chase.

“He suddenly showed up with another buck, and when he got to 25 yards out, I shot him. He ran about 120 yards and died,” he said.

The buck has been green-scored at 158 inches.

Record Beaver?

I have been having a beaver problem on my personal residence property to the point of them causing a drainage problem. A creek that I used to be able to enjoy was no longer accessible, so it was time to lower the population. I checked with a few local authorities including DNR, but there does not seem to be any kind of record keeping for beavers in SC. That being said, I am unsure if this is a record, but it has to be close! 55.4lbs was a lot bigger than I was expecting. I have pictures of it on the scale too, but the site won’t let me upload more than one.
