Potential World Record Deer Falls Short After 60 Day Drying Period

If you like deer hunting big bucks you will like this story. I was over visiting one of my favorite sites “Mike Hanback’s Big Deer” and he had an update on a potential world record deer. It is a big buck harvested in Buffalo county in Wisconsin, and it is a brute. This buck was widely known as a walking potential world record deer, after it was filmed live in the wild by a outfitter in Wisconsin. There was a lot of talk about who was going to harvest this trophy whitetail and those questions were answered when a bow hunter named Bob Decker took him on November 1, 2008.  Here is the video the outfitter filmed.

Field & Stream Buck Officially Scores 233 2/8 NT

From this post at JR Absher’s website:

Questions regarding whether the so-called ‘Field & Stream’ buck taken by Wisconsin bowhunter Bob Decker Nov. 1 would surpass Milo Hansen’s world record typical whitetail were answered yesterday, when the deer was officially scored by Pope & Young Club measurers, who declared the rack non-typical. Nonetheless, at 233 2/8 NT, it bested the current Wisconsin bow record. “I didn’t get the world record, but I got the most popular buck this year,” Decker told the Eau Clair Leader-Telegram. 

When I first saw the video and then the buck photos last fall, I said this giant would not top the Hanson buck, but who gives a damn? The monster is anbody’s dream buck, way to go Bob!

This may not be a world record deer but what a beautiful buck. If you like deer hunting you have to appreciate this deer hunters accomplishment. We all dream about harvesting a trophy buck like this one some day. Can you imagine sitting in the deer stand and seeing a big brute like this one coming to within bow range? I think I would be shaking so bad. I harvested a 125 class ten pointer bow hunting in Illinois this year and he had me all shook up, but I was able to compose myself and make the shot. But if something like this one walked out I don’t know. I keep telling myself I could do it!
