Another Wisconsin monster down! Great buck, and great job making sure your son is involved. Always looking for the future generations of outdoorsmen. One trophy like that and I'm sure he's hooked for life!

piratePete your an idiot. Great job Blaine that is an awesome buck. Looks like he was making some rubs all the yellow bark around his brows very cool.

Very nice buck indeed! However the shot placement is far from an ethical shot that should have been taken!

You are looking at the exit wound in the photos. I shoot mechanical broadheads which do some odd things on their way thru a deer. By the way the exit wound was in the rib cage. The photos are misleading. The arrow didn't hit anything on its way to the deer it hit a shallow ironwood root after it exited. That is what caused the loud crack. The buck didn't go 100 yards, it was a pretty good hit.
Thanks for all the comments

Nice Buck!

Blaine,
Fantastic story and a fantastic deer! I'm glad you responded to the others about the hit placement etc, I hope it makes them feel better. Anyone who knows anything about bow hunting knows that only about a million things can go wrong, especially with a pulse rate of near heart attact range if you see a buck anywhere near that size! It is amazing how smart everyone else is when critiquing someone else on their ethics and shot placement, especially when they may not have ALL the details, not to mention how LUCKY they think you are. It sounds to me like you are quite a hunter, and with your record there is more than luck involved. Hard work, planning, experence and perseverance to name a few! Keep up the fun with your family and friends, that's what it's all about, but I think you already know that!!! Great story!

nice buck
