After hunting hard for several days straight, William “Dusty” Gerrits of Waupun, Wis., thought Nov. 6 might be a good time to take a break from the deer woods. It was Election Day, after all, and he also needed to get caught up on work at his auto parts business. But some promising trail cam photos and a favorable weather forecast changed his mind—which meant that Gerrits was in his stand when Wisconsin’s next state-record archery typical charged in to challenge a smaller buck working a nearby scrape.
Waiting out a five-minute game of cat-and-mouse between the bucks, Gerrits finally got his shot at a record. A final scoring completed earlier this month made it official: The big mainframe 12 with two stickers that Gerrits and his hunting buddies nicknamed “Big Surprise” netted 189 3/8, making it Wisconsin’s third new typical record in seven years.

Nice looking buck... Lots of jealousy from Afghanistan right now!
Wisconsin is heaven on earth.
Fond Du Lac County is the place to hunt, i have a buddie that gets 11 or bigger point buck each year in Fond Du Lac. i have heard about all the huge bucks on the trail camera and the buck above i believe was the same one on my camera. I had a picture of it in early 2010 and then late 2010 and then it disappeared.
