Today's buck
#12
Its been about 90 days since I killed this buck with a bow in WI so I took it to the Deer and Turkey expo over the weekend to have it scored. The bucks are then put on display for the weekend for the attendees. When I went to pick it up there was a note on the rack asking me to come to the measuring area. It turns out the buck makes not only Pope and Young records but also Boone and Crockett award and the Wisconsin Buck and Bear club wanted it entered in their book. How often does a guy kill 2 160+ bucks in a single season with a bow? Then when the weekend concluded I found out I took second at the event. Now I have Utah Archery Elk on the brain.

Congratulations on a couple of very nice deer. The best I could ever do score was was about 115. But for PA that's not too bad. I've seen plenty of bigger bucks but it was always during bear season or else just out of bow range or right after I've shot a buck. You know, Murphy's law!
