True Story ??
« on: December 02, 2008, 02:57:41 PM »
The story;

Thirty point DEER shot by an Amish boy with hand made long bow:

This buck was taken by a 14 year old Amish boy near Dalton WI . He used a hand made long bow and made the killing shot by stalking the huge buck using corn shocks for cover. The boy's family would not allow him to pose with the trophy animal for pictures so a nearby neighbor, Willie Flacid posed and is also acting as spokesman for the Amish boy.

According to Flacid, the Amish family has already received several offers from outdoor sporting companies to purchase the trophy. No dollar amount has been announced yet, but according to Flacid, 'the amount of money being offered is enough that no one would ever be hard up again.'

Here's the link to the Boone and Crockett Trophy watch page. They have been inundated with pics and requests for info on this buck.

http://www.boone-crockett.org/news/trophyWatch.asp?area=news#watch72DB9071-6E61-418A-9CE6-C192422E5867

This tremendous non-typical was taken with a crossbow by Amish hunter John Schmucker in Adams County, Ohio in 2006. It was entered into the Club's 26th Awards period (2004, 2005, 2006) with an official score of 295-3/8.

Did you guys read the original story as posted by Charlie?????  The one name mentioned in the story is "Willie Flacid" and he goes on to mention that enough money is offered to never be "hard up" again? :chuckle: :chuckle:   WOW, am I the only one who noticed this? :dunno:

I've seen this buck in the past and it is a true monster, and the story was it was killed by an Amish guy, but it was killed at least a couple years ago.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.
You are never to old to learn something stupid.
