30 pt Buck taken in Fond du Lac County
Fond du Lac resident has bagged a 30-point whitetail buck by bow.
Wayne Schumacher shot the deer Sunday night from a tree stand near Rosendale.
Schumacher said the shot covered about 15 yards and the deer ran about 60 or 70 yards before going down.
Schumacher said he's hunted with bow and gun for more than 30 years. He's known people who have seen the buck, but it was hard to believe.
The deer, referred to as "Lucky Buck," has an inside antler spread of 20 1/2 inches. Its field-dressed weight was about 225 pounds. Estimates are that the deer is at least 4 1/2 years old.
Schumacher plans to preserve the memory with a shoulder mount.
