Picture information:[/align][/align]Ken Weisnicht of Shawano harvested this 10 point, 180 pound buck with 20" inside spread on opening day of gun season at 2:45 p.m. near the Bowler area. It was estimated to be 4 1/2 years old.[/align][/align]Story behind the kill...[/align][/align]I could hear brush cracking as I sat in anticipation with my shotgun drawn and finger on the safety. I waited for what seemed to be hours, (probably only 10 minutes), with my arms shaking and my heart pounding. I aimed at my firing lane deep into the swamp, only to see two sets of deer legs, one behind the other. These deer were way beyond my 12-Gage reach but I knew they were on a full trot towards my husband Ken so I decided not to shoot and let them go to him. I counted to nine and heard..."KA BOOM." I knew he didn't miss. I was so excited, (at this time not knowing that he shot a buck because as I said, I could only see legs), but knew there was only one shot so I waited in hopes of the second deer back-tracking, but NOTHING. So I climbed out of my stand and jelly-legged over to Ken's stand. To my surprise, there lay this monster buck and Ken's eyes were HUGE! He was so happy and surprised. After we talked for a few moments, he told me that he heard something and turned to see a deer standing there, not even noticing the coat rack on it's head, (partially hidden by a birch tree). He just knew we needed meat and aimed ahead of the deer, and as soon as it ran into his shooting lane he pulled the trigger and by the time it reached his next shooting lane it nose-dived into a tree and fell lifeless to the ground, (only 60 yards from his stand).
