Area residents will get their first up-close look at the Stephens buck this weekend, Jan. 23 (4 to 9 p.m.) and Jan. 24 (11 a.m. to 5 p.m.) when Brian Stephens of Clayton and taxidermist Rick Busse of Piqua put it on display at the Cincinnati Hunting & Fishing Show, part of the Cincinnati Travel, Sports & Boat Show.

The buck, when officially scored on Jan. 30, will have the largest main beams of any whitetail ever recorded. It will also be a nontypical record for muzzleloaders in Ohio.

The boat and travel portion of the Cincinnati show opened on Friday, Jan. 15 and will continue through Jan. 24. The show is closed today, but reopens Wednesday, Jan. 20 at 5 p.m. at the Duke Energy Convention Center on Fifth and Elm Streets.

The show features hunting and fishing seminars, including Joe Thomas, Frank Scalish, Tom Clay, Ryan Thomas and Tom Dietz.
