Fond du Lac man sets buck mark

Dec. 6, 2009

Two teams of certified scorers have declared a Fond du Lac resident's 30-point buck the largest non-typical buck shot with a bow in Wisconsin history.

The rack on the buck shot by 52-year-old Wayne Schumacher in September was measured Saturday. It earned a record-breaking score of 243.75 inches.

Scoring had to wait for a 60-day drying period. Schumacher's buck tops the record set last year by Bob Decker of Eau Claire and his 16-pointer.

Scorer Mark Miller of Fond du Lac says it took three hours to measure the rack.

Schumacher shot the buck the night of Sept. 20 in an area west of Fond du Lac when it walked under his stand.

He plans to have replicas made of the antlers and sell them.

Hi Doug,

We had the story and picture of the Turdy-Point Buck on this link:

But we might as well post another picture of the big guy on this thread too. I never get tired of looking at Wisconsin Big Buck Porn:



Nice Buck!! Does me proud that he came from Wisconsin.

I'd never get a chance at a buck like that. He's smell my full shorts way before he was in range

Don't feel like the Lone Ranger on that one TribReady. Just once, that's all I'm asking Lord, just once.

Haven't had buck fever in a long time but all that could change with one like that in my sights. Nice buck.

It was shot about 25 north of me. I have seen some awfull big bucks in S.E. wis. The funny thing is Buffalo co. gets sooo much attention that our area gets overlooked. I always thought that if Washington and Waukesha co. was not so populated it would beat Buffalo county in trophy bucks. I still think it's true.
