Hornady Helps Firearms News Editor Bag Trophy Eight-Point Buck

Firearms News Editor-in-Chief Vincent DeNiro Turns a Challenging Deer Season into a Success Story

DENVER (December 19, 2024) – Available online now at FirearmsNews.com, Firearms News Editor-in-Chief Vincent DeNiro tells a tale of turning a challenging Ohio deer season into a success story, bagging a large eight-point buck using Hornady’s American Whitetail 245-Grain Soft Point Interlock® 450 Bushmaster Ammunition. 

DeNiro, a seasoned hunter and firearms expert, had less-than-ideal hunting conditions for the Ohio deer season, including freezing temperatures, high winds, and challenging terrain. Yet with precise aim and the reliability of Hornady ammunition, his final day of deer season ended with a trophy-worthy buck. 

Reflecting on the experience, DeNiro shared, “Hornady’s American Whitetail 245-grain soft point proved itself in the field. Over the years, I have experimented with numerous 450 Bushmaster cartridges, but the stopping power and accuracy of this round were exceptional. It practically dropped the buck where it stood—something hunters in thick wooded areas know is crucial.”
