Sheboygan Falls man shoots possible World record-breaking buck!

Michael Gregoire of Sheboygan Falls shot a buck with a bow and arrow Thursday on his brothers farm just west of Sheboygan Falls.

Michael says he has his fingers crossed and he is saying his prayers as he waits to find out if the buck he shot last week is a world record.

The 12-point buck weighed 240 pounds and the rack has been unofficially scored at 217 5/8 inches. A 60-day drying period must first pass before an official score is granted.

The Boone and Crocket Club Web site says the world record for a typical whitetail rack is 213 5/8 inches, shot with a rifle in Canada in 1993. The state record is 206 1/8 inches.

Now, all Gregoire can do is wait for the day drying period to elapse and for three licensed, random scorers to render their verdict.
