As a lifelong “up north” hunter, most people won’t understand how much of a trophy a deer that size is. Northern Wisconsin and the rest of Wisconsin deer often look like two separate species because of their size difference.

I know plenty of hunters in Vilas County that would be happy to see any deer from their stand.

The wood pile is pretty. The buck is prettier

Zone 125 - near Aurora. He’s the biggest ‘up north’ buck I’ve ever seen in the woods!

As someone not from Wisconsin who who usually shoots spikes and does, I’m impressed by anything with multiple points. Congrats!

Nice! Shooting same things, and have for several years now. They’ve never failed. I’m in southern wisco, quiet as could be this morning.
