My 2003 WI archery buck
Being pretty new to this picture thing...I'm hoping I finally got it right this time.
I was lucky enough to harvest this brute with an hour and a half to go on the last day of a 4-day early Nov. hunt during the prime rut in WI, after 8 full days of hunting in Sept-Oct. During just that 4 days, my partner and I were able to pass up over 10 bucks each, and we saw over 20 different bucks between the 2 of us. This buck came by after almost 4 full all-day sits in 10-25 degree temps, and when I was able to harvest him you can guess their was a flood of emotions! I was literally shaking as I walked up to him-cold, tired, excited, thrilled, weak, and maybe even a little dehydrated....but well worth it! We had another wonderful year in WI observing everything a quality rut, on quality land, with quality whitetails can offer, and can't wait for next year.

I know you can't see all the details from this picture, but he has 10 scorable points, with quite a few other stickers and bumps at his bases. His bases measure 6.5" and 5.5", and his outside spread is over 24", inside is just under 22". He never a grew another matching 10" G2 on the right side, and his right 9" browtine has a 3 inch sticker coming off of it, double the length of his left 6" browtine. His gross is close to 150, but he would barely make P&Y with all the deductions. Lots of great character though, and a true buck of a lifetime in my book!
