Amish Boy Harvests 30pt BUCK?
« on: December 03, 2008, 06:33:54 PM »
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.'

This buck has been the rounds again of late. Here are the facts:

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. Incredibly, at this Awards Program, this buck tied with another buck with the same score for the 1st Award in the non-typical whitetail category. The other buck was taken by Scott Dexter in 2004 from McDonough County, Illinois.

This story originally was posted on www.HuntTheUS.com and proven to be a hoax. Deer was shot in Ohio by another Amish Youth with a Crossbow.
See story on http://www.huntTheUs.com Left column of front page is the link.
Story started around the 23rd of November and flew around the internet. First clue was name of the guy holding the deer.. "Flacid" Better yet Willie Flacid??
