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.

It's sure going to be hard to beat!

It is, but at 22 at least he's got a few years.

I thought it was Duncan Hunter who shot the buck.

Seriously!

[elizabetty]

That’ll hold a lot of hats.

Uh,oh, who’s gonna lead Santa’s sleigh?

And isn’t counting all the tines on both sides called a “Texas count”?

[Publius]

I wonder what the Boone & Crockett rating is on that buck.

[Jet Jaguar]

Yes it will!

[exit82]

Looks like a good tine was had by all.

Bravo.

I thought it was Duncan Hunter who shot the buck.

You're not alone on that.

[freekitty]

He should have let that one go.

[ImpBill]

Western Count!

[ImpBill]

Kinda like “catch and release”? Shoot and release!

You’ll appreciate this ping.

He killed Bambi!

At least he used a bow. Which is a bit more fair. I think it would be more interesting if the deer could shoot back.

That is an expensive hunt. Too old and tough to eat, and just about mandatory to mount one like that.

[Man50D]

That buck should be tested for steroids!

[Brilliant]

In that case, he’s got my vote.

John Kerry killed one twice that size while hunting on Cape Cod. Honest, just ask him. he was in Vietnam you know!
