OT: Deer Story

Here's a picture of a 30 point buck shot by an Amish boy in WI with a long bow. A friend of the boy's family is poised with the deer. Hal
PS: I have the email and if anyone wants a copy I can send it.

Where was it taken ??

Janicholson · Dec 30, 2008

Good morning. What a rack!!
The only bigger set I have seen is from a place called Verns In Ft. Collins Colorado. It was a bizarre rack with uneven count and more than 50 points. It burned in a fire that destroyed the place (since rebuilt). It was not "constructed" and weighed more than 50 pounds. Thanks for the image. (This year's deer was a button buck that field dressed to about 100) Jim

He looks like an old buck, bet that meat had a flavor like none other,,yuck. Like eating a old billy goat.HAHA

That is an awesome deer, but..

It is the schumacker buck shot in Ohio in 06??
An amish man shot it with a crossbow. Neat story if you google it.

I think this is the deer you`re talking about, though it doesn`t say anything about a long bow
Dalton, WI buck

Many years ago I left one like that go. He was within 30 yards but I thought it over & didn't shoot. He was all grey in color and I knew he would not be good to eat. The rack made the deer look small.

Brokenwrench, I think the buck that Hal posted is different if you look close. The one in 06 has a drop tine on the right where the one hal posted doesn't. I may be mistaken but look close.I have a mule deer that is a nontypical that has 12 on one side and 13 on the other. Scored 227 and 7/8th B/C

You guys from the east count funny out west we only count one side and not the eye guards.

Walt

I think those two are different deer one has legs the other doesn't and the racks are very different.

We generally let little ones like that go. Let them get big!
