How Wayne Schumacher Killed the 30-Point "Lucky Buck" in Fon du Lac County, Wisconsin
How Wayne Schumacher Killed the 30-Point "Lucky Buck" in Fon du Lac County, Wisconsin
Nine days into Wisconsin’s bow season Wayne Schumacher scored big with this 200-plus 30-pointer taken in Fon du Lac County. Schumacher and his brother were hunting a new property on September 20 when the non-typical giant cracked a twig under his stand 25 minutes before the end of shooting light. “He was so quiet, I had no idea he was there until he was right under me,” Schumacher says. “When I looked down through the branches of the tree, I could see part of one rack through the leaves and I knew he was no ordinary deer.”

Awesome deer! Glad he snapped that twig those sneaky monsters dont get that big by crashing through the woods.
Oh man... I want to shoot a buck this big someday!
Very nice buck , Good job!
Escanaba in Da moonlight, for real. Nice Buck, that's what keeps us Hunting.
Did ya see da thurty pointer?
Wish I could believe there's one of those waiting for me this season.
I just found a Whitetail Hunt in Buffalo Cty. Wi. on E-bay.
Looks like a great hunt at a very reasonable Rate.
Rut hunt if you can believe it.
My Question is
1) Has anyone used E-bay to book a hunt and how did it work out ?
2) I heard Buffalo Cty. is the best P&Y Cty. in the county ?
Any imput would be great.
Nice Buck!
DA TURDY POINT BUCK?!?!?!?!
What ever I shoot Buck like that all the time... And then I wake up with to a mess. To top that off I get to sit in a tree only to see nothing... oh well maybe one day. Nice Buck
that is sweet. how far was your shot
I'm gonna get dat turdy point buck.
Tremendous deer, a deer of a lifetime anyway you look at it, but even more impressive with a bow. Congratulations
Awesome buck! Great job!
Great buck thats a great way to start off deer season.
I hope i don't shoot a buck this big until later in life. It would be hard to top something like this
Great Buck! Great story!!
Fon du Lac is actually spelled Fond du Lac. Just do not want the locals offended.
ditto Jay Scott..ty..
Nice
Way to Go! You will be old and gray before you even see a buck like that again, you might never see one! My hats off to you! Good hunting 2009 to all!
Congratulations on the tremendous buck! Just curious, was the animal baited? I do understand that it is legal to bait deer in Wisconsin. If it was taken "fair chase" more power to you! If not I would definitely put an asterisk by it.
The goes for you too Ralph and Vicki. And all you other "so-called" pro's with the shows. Stop baiting and get back to hunting!
What a monster. That's just an amazing deer. You'll probably never see another like it. Great job. Good luck the rest of the hunting seasons eveyone/
Awsome buck congradulations!!
but to kill big bucks you have to go where big bucks are thats if you can afford it now days its all about money.
i hope i kill one like that to start my season off lol
GREAT BUCK ALL I NEED TO KNOW IS WHERE U HUNT AT.
ROLL -TIDE
Great Job man! thats a deer every deer hunter thinks about whille sitting in the tree.. congrats on the monster!
Tremendous deer. All of us want 1 like that but want no more for you. Great job.
Mr. Hudson why would you put an * by it if the deer was taken over bait if it is legal in Wisconsin. Mr.Schumacher harvested a deer of a lifetime and you want an * that makes no sense to me.
great deer really got me into gear to start hunting earlier in the season.
mr hudson thats a terrible idea... where do you hunt that would give you such an idea that this is done????? baiting is only a tool used out smart deer naturally and wisconsin does not allow attractants such as c'mere deer or salt attractants to be hunted over. only allowed to use naturally produced bait and small amounts 2lbs at a time or less.
