Whatever the reason, the buck kill is still down in Calhoun, according to some of the check-in stations. A really big buck was killed on the Fork yesterday by Richard Perkins of Chloe, according to Rick's Place, where the 18-point buck was checked. Officials with the state Division of Natural Resources say a hunter shot himself in the foot while hunting in Roane County. Rain, sleet and snow swept across part of the state Monday, putting a damper on more than 350,000 hunters' hopes of bagging a buck. Calhoun's grocery, convenience stores, and restaurants have been packed with out-of-state hunters.
