Check out this beauty! Jake Pronschinske dropped this buck in velvet on September 15th between Ettrick and Arcadia. 10 points, 18 inch spread, and estimated to score around 145. What a way to start a season! |
Okay, okay!! I know...it's not a whitetail!! Ralph Lyon shows off the archery bull he took in September of 2008 while tuning up for whitetails. The look on Ralph's face tells it all..."How the **** am I gonna get this pig off of this hillside?" |
Matt Ihrig took this 11 pointer on 10/23 near Arcadia. It has an 18 1/4" inside spread and weighed 225lbs. Matt made a good shot and the buck went about 100 yards before dropping over. |
Rick Bryson continued his streak of dropping big bucks. He took this one on a Saturday morning (10/25). Nice 8 pt. 221 pounds with a 17.5" inside spread. |
...of course, Ralph does shoot the occasional whitetail buck (occasional meaning about every year!). This mid-November bow kill being an 8 pt. with a 19 7/8 inch inside spread. He had glimpsed the buck on camera back in September...see below. (Thumbnails of the trail cam pictures below...click on for full size.) |
Kenny Przybilla took this 200+ pound brute the week before gun season: a 7 pointer with a 19 inch inside spread. |
Steve Hovell dropped this brute opening morning of the Wisconsin Gun Season. The 12 pointer green scored 156 gross. |
Sejal Benusa dropped this one opening day of Wisconsin Gun Season. She dropped this buck in his tracks @ 110 yards: 10 points / 17in inside / 174 lbs/. Dad now has the 3rd largest gun buck in the family and has been delegated to guide & gutter! |
Check out this beauty taken opening weekend of the 2008 gun season. Todd Brekke connected on what looked like a big, typical 10 pointer...until you notice the big, palmated drop tine protruding from the left beam. (Double-click on any of the images above or below to see in full size). As you can see in the picture of Todd's basement (bottom right), he seems to have a knack at shooting nice ones! |
Some bucks taken by Dave Tweed's group near Whitehall. The buck at center was taken by Dave himself opening day. |
Two pictures below of a buck found dead near the Arcadia High School in March of 2009. Initial measurements put the buck at over 200 inches!! |
