As for shot and choke it was federal tru-balls and an improved cylinder choke and i was aiming with nothing more than the bead. I killed a doe with this combo at 80 yards earlier during the doe only hunt, also one shot. And yes we hunt very close to Fon du Lac county. We are technicaly in Sheboygan county but we are less than 2 miles from the border. We hunt in unit 69 which has never been earn a buck but just about all the units around 69 were at one point EAB.
Great story and an amazing buck. I love the picture of the two bucks on the garage floor, it really shows the difference between a good buck to be proud of and put on your wall and a truly giant record book animal. Congratulations.
Update: Jack Reneau over at Boone & Crockett's Trophy Watch blog tells us they think this buck will NOT score high enough to beat the Hansen buck. From the Trophy Watch site: Numerous recent articles have been brought to our attention claiming that this buck has a green score higher than the Milo Hansen World Record Typical.
So here is what I know about this Buck. He lived on a golf course, I know this because he was spotted there several times this past summer. The same week he was shot my uncle missed him more than a mile west of the golf course. His arrow ticked a branch and sailed straight up, clean miss. A few days later he was taken over a mile west of where my uncle missed him. There is no way he could have been in the area he was shot for more than a day or two. From what I have heard this buck traveled around 3 miles from the last sighting at the golf course to where he was shot in the span of a week.

Yes it is...
the kids1
It's hard to believe they can actually fly at that age, when you think of how long it takes a similar size goose to fledge this is amazing.
A good read3
My mom has a couple pictures of me that look alot like this.

Is that an M1 Garand? Very cool to get a deer with an old military arm.
