Today I was out combine corn. And it is WI gun season going on too. I was opened up the head lands on the corn field next to the owner house. Made the first pass, on the return pass a big buck gets up in the corn and takes off. I stop the machine and watch until I loss sight of him. As I move ahead, there he stands looking at me. Again I stop the machine and watch him. He start walking to the east along the edge of the field. Goes half way down and goes back into the corn field. I turn off my combine and go take the grain truck back to the farm, and I return in my orange and rifle in hand.
Go down the field to where I last saw the deer go into the field. There is a water way that I leave on the hillside. Start going to the east slowly looking down the rows. Go about 50 yds and there he is laying down, about 50 yds to the south and looking away from me. Up comes the rifle and 130gr bullet lands true to it mark. Big boy is down, one very happy hunter. This is my largest with rifle. And my hair not that gray either. Im old but not that old. Thanks for looking.
The rough score is 164" gross, after deduction should be about 154" typical.
