Brian Inda's Buck - New Wisconsin Typical Archery Record

For those of you that think that off season shed hunting doesn't pay off in finding a trophy buck to hunt you should talk to Brian Inda of Wautoma. 

Inda's brother, Chris, had received permission to shed hunt the property where he found a pair of massive sheds.  Sheds that scored 192 inches.  They had just identified the backyard of a buck that, if harvested, could become the new typical state archery record.  The problem was that they did not have permission to hunt the property.

As fate would have it, Inda and his friend, Craig Carpenter, would later find themselves on a construction project adjacent to the 120 christmas tree farm that the shed were found on.  It was through this turn of fate that Inda and Carpenter would learn that they property was available to hunt through a lease.  They waisted no time and  quickly signed a three year lease to hunt the property.

The two men set several stands and camera on the property to try and pattern this big boy. They had several pictures of the buck from their trail cameras confirming the big buck was still around.  They hunted the property sparingly throughout the fall making sure to play the wind right, but they had only glimpsed the buck one time before a grunt call brought the buck to within fifteen yards of Inda on that November 2, 2010 day.  A well placed shot from Inda sealed the fate of this record buck.  They found the massive buck only seventy yards away from Inda's treestand.

The 12-point, Waushara County buck was scored by a group certified Pope and Young scorers.  The 7.5 year old buck had an official net score of 187 5/8 inches making it a new state record surpassing the previous record of 187 2/8 inches by Barry Rose's 2006 buck shot in Dunn County.

Welcome

I am currently the Defensive Coordinator for the football team at the University of Wisconsin-Stout.  Football has been a mainstay in my life since I started playing way back in seventh grade.  You could say football is a true love of mine.

Crazy Horse Hunting Club - Rusk County

My other main love outside of my family is definitely deer hunting.  I am fortunate to teach bow hunting as a class at UW-Stout.  It has become one of the more popular physical education classes at the University.  Teaching two sessions of bow hunting and an archery class the first quarter of the fall semester allows me plenty of time at the archery range each week.  By the end of the quarter I am pretty dialed in with my bow.  If only I could hunt more.

I do not get to bow hunt too much due to my football obligations.  It is mostly on Sundays that I'm able to get out in the woods.   I am lucky enough though to be able to gun hunt for the full Wisconsin gun season on our 400 acres in Rusk County.  The above photo is from our group, the Crazy Horse Hunting Club from the 2005 season.

I am passionate about whitetail hunting and big bucks in particular.  Like many of you reading this, I love getting email photos of big bucks that have been shot throughout the state each year.  I started this blog to share and discuss all these great bucks.  I have also started a Facebook page where photos and comments can be shared.  I'll provide a link to this page at a later date.
