It official New wisc non typical record

[mabr]

The 30-point rack was measured Saturday by a team of certified scorers, earning the record-breaking score of 243 6/8 inches.

“It’s going to be known as the Wayne Schumacher state record,” said the 52-year-old City of Fond du Lac employee.

“It hasn’t sunk yet. It’s unreal,’ he said.

Schumacher’s buck beats out the record set last year by Bob Decker of Eau Claire and his 16-pointer, officially measured at 233 2/8 inches.

The elusive 30-point buck was harvested with a bow the night of Sept. 20 in an area west of Fond du Lac, toward Rosendale. Schumacher was hunting with his older brother, Pete.

Scoring had to wait for a 60-day drying period.

It took two teams of certified scorers three hours to measure the rack, using steel cable and flexible steel tape measures, said scorer Mark Miller of Fond du Lac. He was joined by Steve Ashley of Glenwood City, head of Wisconsin Buck and Bear Club, official big game records keeper for the state of Wisconsin, along with Brian Neitzel of Randolph and Brian Tessman of Waukesha.

“Basically, we measure every point on the deer and every inch of horn,” Miller said.

Schumacher said he will have replicas made of the antlers and sell them. The original rack will be held somewhere in safekeeping.

He said it was the largest deer he’d ever seen in 36 years of bow hunting. The deer walked under his stand

"Basically, we measure every point on the deer and every inch of horn," Miller said.

I gurantee I could do that accurately without a tape measure...

That's back-to-back non-typ state records for WI. Actually it could be for MN too if that Ripley buck measures out after its 60 day drying period. That's impressive for sure. The QDM mentality is definitely expanding.

It's been a trophy filled year that's for sure. I haven't seen a darn thing worth bragging about this year. It's getting pretty darn cold too, my season might be done.
