2009 Wisconsin Buck
 

I shot this buck monday morning of gun season after spending the weekend at the waterpark for my daughters birthday. I heard about the low numbers taken over the weekend, but headed out first thing in the morning. I had an Ithica model 37 deerslayer than a friend had gave me. The gun shot like a dream at the range and I wanted to break it in. So about two in the afternoon this guy walks across the creek near one of my other stands, and hes not coming my way. So i pick the best opening I can find and squeeze the best I can while my heart doing 280!! When I shoot he reacts more like he was spooked instead of hit.... So I wait about a half an hour and go look. All I find is a tuft of hair... I think OMG I MISSED!!!! I turn to look where he went and there is one beautiful pool of blood. Not more than thirty feet away hes piled up in a heap. While dressing him his heart falls out. Both atria missing. :s2: Just curious how old you think he is and what he might score. Eleven points fifteen and a half spread. Main beams almost touch. Maybe this was Gods way of making up for the waterpark..?? Thanks for reading. Sorry cell phones dont work well when its foggy... :mad:

congrats on a great deer

i'd say at least 140. the buck is maybe a 4 1/2 year old. not sure.

Beautiful deer, man!

great buck 140+ i think and 4 1/2 +

I am going to agree with the 4.5. He looks to be a fairly old deer. He is a dandy, nice work.

Very nice buck but why are you not wearing the required blaze orange in Wisconsin?

Cause I was sweating my arse off after dragging him(I'm not the smallest guy in the world). My jacket is hanging from a tree right next to me. I hunt on private land, but have had many a bullet go flying over my head. :mad:

Great deer, nice job. I would go with the 140's estimate based on the picture and also the 4.5...he is gray, roman nose, looks to be an old warrior. That is a nice deer for the ol' wall for sure.

Thats a nice deer! That forked brow looks cool. I'm also going to guess around 140. I would say he's 4.5 heck I'll throw 5.5 in the mix. He looks fairly old in the face.
