It’s Official Field & Stream Buck Scores 233 2/8 making it the New Wisconsin State Record for Non Typical Bucks. When I posted the story about this buck being taken I promised to keep you up to date on it’s status and the record books.
Questions about whether the buck would qualify for world-record status were answered Wednesday when official scorers with the Pope and Young Club ruled the animal’s antlers as nontypical, disqualifying it from holding the world title.
However, Decker’s deer still attained high honors. The 16-pointer, which officially was measured at 233 2/8 inches (all scoring is done in eighths of inches), is the largest nontypical buck shot with a bow in Wisconsin history, breaking the state’s longest-standing archery deer hunting record – 231 5/8 inches – in place since 1979. The state’s nontypical gun record is 247 3/8 inches.
What ever you want to call it the “Decker Buck” or the “Field & Stream Buck” it is one impressive buck. Congratulations to Bob Decker for taking one awesome buck, I’m sure at some point this deer will make the show circuit so we can all get a closer look at the impressive rack.
