State Wrestling Champ Tags Giant 20-Point Buck in Stilwell, Kansas
State Wrestling Champ Tags Giant 20-Point Buck in Stilwell, Kansas
Parker Madl, a 17-year-old high school senior from Stilwell, Kan., didn’t have long to wait or far to go to find the deer of a lifetime. On opening day of the Kansas archery season, the Blue Valley High School wrestling star—the reigning state champion in his weight division—shot this 20-point buck from a tree house on his family’s property. The deer green scores 228.

wow that is an amazing animal....good job
Sounds like a young man that has his act together. Congratulations to Parker (and his parents).
Wow, helluva buck.
Nice buck. Must have been a pretty easy shoot, because it's So big!
Nice buck!! You made a memory of a life time.
one in a life time
When he is 65 he can tell his grandkids that when he was their age he was shooting 220 inch deer and he won't be lying.
Good thing he was 17 and not older, because he probably could of been another heart attack death in the woods
by the way give that kid the leatherman
My home in Olathe is only a few miles from Stilwell and Shawnee Mission park. Guys, this place is heaven on earth for Whitetail hunters. I will try to post a pic of the monster buck my nephew shot last Dec later today.
What a BEAST!!
nice one man
Wow! What an awesome buck! I've hunted for 24 years and have yet to get a shot at anything like that. You've got a deer of a lifetime, and a whole lifetime left to hunt! Congrats and good luck this wrestling season.
wow What was the score roughly on somthing that big.
looks very healthy eating really well.
Building memories early in life. Sounds like he is on his way to many more.
That is one hell of a way to start off hunting season nice buck and great job!
awesome trophy congrats!
Good for him!
WOW!! It just don't get any better than that what a BUCK! Nice job, way to put in your time and scout make the most of your hunt!
thats a nice buck! Looks like the buck has a smile too!
Great buck. It really doesn't get much better than that
It has to be tough to keep it together when you see an animal like that come under the stand - especially for a relatively young hunter. Great job and a wonderful deer.
as a fellow kansan RIGHT ON !!!!
way to show some sunflower state pride.
When opening day arrived Sept. 21, Madl came home from school planning to hunt his family’s 450-acre farm. “But it was raining, so I decided I’d just stay close to home and see if I could get this deer,” Madl says. “It worked out pretty good.
okay guys he says it was raining..look at the rocks and the grass and his jeans and the deer. nothing is wet. it was pouring down raining opening day. he even says so
You get one buck per season in Kansas, and no gun hunting till the rut is over. This is evidence of excellent deer management. I hunt less than a mile from where this buck was shot and "settled" for a beautiful 120 class 8 pointer prematurely...obviously! Next year!
Whoa whoa buckhunter44 before you start accusing me of doing anything illegal you need to get your facts straight. I said it was raining around 2 o clock so I didn’t want to drive all the way down to my farm, but by the time I was in my tree stand, in my backyard, around 4 it died down. After I shot the buck I went into my house (where my mom made me take off my hunting clothes, no boots in the house) to wait until my dad got home. Once he got home I slipped on a different pair of rubber boots and went to show him. After a few pictures next to our garage we decided that they would look better in the daylight so we then put the deer in the garage and finished the pictures in the morning. I was not wearing the same clothes in the pictures that I wore hunting. So now that we got that cleared up I would appreciate it if you would stop posting these negative comments towards me. If you have any other questions post your name and number and I will give you a call.

So your saying you left the deer in your garage overnight in warm weather and did not cape or field dress it until the next day? And another thing the thunder storm didn’t start to let up until dark not 4.
Someone told me that the trailcam pictures of this deer that you put on the website are not from your camera but actually from a camera that belongs to someone else? Any chance you could clarify this and maybe explain why you didn’t post any of your own pictures of the deer from this year?
