I hunt on our family farm and I sit looking into a tamrack swamp and also over looking a large yellow grass swamp which I can see across and is about 600 yds across. I got into my stand Sunday morning around 620am and at about 7 am this buck come across the yelllow grass swamp trailing 2 does. For whatever reason when the deer hit the tamrack swamp line the does turned around and went back the way they had come from so I was able to get him in the scope of my .338 and put a lead on him and with one shot he disappeared, I watched the area for 15 min. to be sure but no site of him. It was a long shot he was about 280yds when I took the shot about as long as I like to take, I have taken deer on several occasions up to this range but this is about the farthest. I had him aged this morning and he was at least 5 1/2 years old the biologist said and he green scored 153 3/8" gross hard to see in the pic but his first mass measurement was 61/4" and the other side was 6 1/2". My best buck to date,

That's a great buck! You have some beautiful whitetail cover in N. WI. I've often hunted the western UP of MI and went thru your neck of the woods on my way to Ontario for a muzzleloader hunt in Oct.
