Plant pathogenic bacteria cause many serious diseases of plants throughout the world (Vidhyasekaran 2002; Figure 2), but fewer than fungi or viruses, and they cause relatively less damage and economic cost (Kennedy and Alcorn 1980).
Biggest Buck Ever Shot! The mount of this famous whitetail is now part of the King of Bucks collection, which is in the Wonders of Wildlife display at the American National Fish & Wildlife Museum in Springfield, Missouri. The story of the top whitetail ever shot is as great as the deer. When 15-year-old Tony Lovstuen pulled the trigger of his muzzleloader on the afternoon of Sept. 29, 2003, he ended the reign of a buck that already was world famous.
Prior to that, the longest shot was by Canadian Rob Furlong from 2,657 yards (1.51 miles) in Afghanistan in 2002 using a .50-caliber McMillan TAC-50. Apparently, just days before Furlongâs shot, Canadian Arron Perry, of the same unit as Furlong, made a shot at 2,526 yards. Perryâs shot is unconfirmed. For the record, these are the worldâs longest shots. Long shots, let alone the âLongest Shot,â are the stuff of Hollywood legend. In the movie The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, Clint Eastwood, as âBlondie,â uses three shots to split a lynch rope that his partner is about to hang from.
