Hunter shoots multi-tined buck in Beaver Dam, Wis. [35 pointer]
ESPN/Beaver Dam Daily Citizen ^ | October 25, 2007 | Brian Paynter

Casey Heine of Beaver Dam, Wis., shot this 35-point buck. BEAVER DAM, Wis. — Locals may have heard Casey Heine hollering through the marsh early in the morning of Sept. 29.

That's when he realized the size of his first big buck — a whopping 35-pointer — he had shot with a bow and arrow just outside of Beaver Dam.

"It's sure going to be hard to beat!" Heine said.

He could barely stand the mosquitoes at 4:30 p.m. on Sept. 28 out in the field. But nearly two hours later, while he waited for a doe and fawn to come out of some brush, he heard something in the bean field. Then two deer ran along the line fence.

"I knew it was a nice buck," said Heine, 22, of Beaver Dam, about the 35-pointer. "However, I only glanced at the horns once or twice while it was running toward me."

Heine said he had no idea what the big buck, and a 4-point buck, were running from. Nonetheless, they went behind his hunting stand.

Since he landed it with a bow and arrow it’ll be a Pope & Young score, which’ll be even more impressive.

He is also cute and looks like a real man. Wish I was younger or at least he would ask out my 21 year old niece.

Both sides is “Eastern Count”. One side is “Western Count”.

which’ll be even more impressive.

I don't think it will make in in the top 50. But I could be wrong pictures do lie, and it would go in the non-typical category.

Too old and tough to eat

He can’t eat it anyhow, he didn’t find the buck until 12 hours after he shot it. It wasn’t gutted or bled. The meat is useless.

I believe John F. Kerry’s (served in Vietnam) buck was (merely, by his own admission) a 48 point buck.

I wonder what the record number of points is for white tail deer.

Wow, this beats my 13 and 8 I got in Idaho many years ago. And his with a bow and arrow too. Mine was with the old rifle. Nice going.

Not necessarily. From the article, I forgot to excerpt

"I took my time and put the arrow right behind the front shoulder," Heine said. "I'm glad it happened as fast as it did because I would've probably been too nervous to shoot if the buck came walking up to me."

Heine displays the multiple-tined buck's impressive rack.

He knew right away it was a good shot from where the arrow hit the animal.

"I watched it run for about 75 yards and he took one huge leap into the cattails," Heine said.

He found his arrow about 10 yards from where he hit the buck and, because there was a minimal amount of blood on the ground, decided to wait until morning to pursue the animal.

I'd question the decision to wait till morning over what appears to be a kill shot, and temperatures weren't favorable, but the meat isn't necessariy useless, particularly if his wait till morning judgement was correct.
