New Wisconsin Record Buck

On September 20, 2009, in Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin, bowhunter Wayne Schumacher heard the sound of a twig cracking underneath his treestand. Looking down, Wayne could see part of a buck’s rack and knew it was no ordinary deer!

For a few tense moments, the giant buck tested the wind and finding nothing, proceeded to head for a nearby food plot. At 15 yards, the buck paused, quartering away. Wayne (trying desperately to ignore the antlers), drew, anchored and sent the arrow on its way. Confident the shot was good, he watched the buck bolt away, looking “like a moose running through the grass.”
