2016 Central WI Public Land Gun Buck
2016 Central WI Public Land Gun Buck
I was lucky enough to kill this beautiful buck on opening day of gun season in a big public tag alder swamp. To be honest it was not a difficult hunt. There was an abundance of very obvious buck sign coming out of a certain area. I had to cross a knee deep ditch to get to the spot. But after that, the rubline coming out of there indicated a very obvious spot to set up. I made a video documenting that day of hunting, so I will let that tell the rest of the story.

God is good, this has been my best year of hunting ever. Thank you for all the knowledge shared on here. Many forum members I should be thanking for being trustworthy and knowledgeable and willing to bounce ideas back and forth. stash59 and fishlips in particular. Thanks for reading my story!
I think he is a 2.5 yr old. The rack is small but his body was big. I got 46 lbs of boned and trimmed meat off of him. His skull was big too. His skull was actually bigger than my bow buck.

Hello Mike.
I recognized your brother in the video. I know him as "Slim" coined by the Staab guys. Tell him hello from Jake (the engineer from the Cascade project).
Haha, small world...
