I was hunting on the edge of a turnip field on a friend' s property in Juneau County, Wisconsin when the type of buck I' ve always wanted to take stepped into the field directly behind me. He turned to look away and I sent a Zwickey after him. I haven' t had him score yet, but he should just barely miss P&Y...by about 110" . []

He was a spike with little browtines. Did I mention he was still in full velvet? I' ve always wanted a velvet whitetail. So, I burned my only state-wide WI either-sex tag (non-CWD area) on a fat scrub buck with fuzzy antlers. The meat' s in the freezer--except for the sirloins we ate last night--and that neat little rack will look cool on the wall.
