( 3.1 / 120 )Hello Everyone-
I’m finally getting around to getting a few pictures out from my D3 Outdoor Whitetail Bow Hunt in Wyoming at Trophies Plus Outfitters. My great friend and SGMF, Skip Peterson, was on hand to film for D3 Outdoor. Thanks Skip! With Skip as my driving partner for the 14 hour trip, seemed like 24 hours due to the demand of Skip Enterprises. We ended up in about 7 states, making several stops as personal delivery boys for the infamous Skip Enterprises – Rock Steady Tree Arm. By the way, if you plan to film a hunt and don’t have The Rock Steady Tree Arm, you need to get one.
Enough said with being Skip’s runner. After our arrival, we realized it was time to find my hunting licenses and to get to work; guess what, we needed to now make a stop for duplicate permits since I left my tags at home in Illinois; idiot. After spending the day getting duplicate licenses we made our way to scouting for the next days hunt. Long story short, Skip spotted a nice 9-point and we watched another 50 or so deer grazing in the field. We made a plan to hunt Antelope the next morning and go after Whitetail the following afternoon.
When it finally came time to hunt, with the help of Mike Watkins and Skip, we hung a double set of stands and got to it. Wow, what a sit, Whitetail and Muleys all over the place. Low and behold, the 9-point Skip picked out the evening before ended up in our path. With my BowTech Admiral in hand loaded up with Octane accessories, I ‘Let it Reign’ with my Reign broadhead from EP Hunting. Yes, it was a bright day taking pictures so we broke out our Oakley’s and had a little fun posing with the camera.
This was not the end to my hunting in Wyoming and Montana at Trophies Plus Outfitters in 2009 but it was the end of my Wyoming Whitetail hunting because there was now a Wicked 9-point with my tag hanging from him!
I can’t wait to share the story and photos from Skip and my adventure taking a Big, Old, Pope & Young Antelope in Montana the very next day!
Best-

A 26-point buck — the 37th largest recorded in state history — is at the center of criminal charges.
Anthony W. Nisiewicz, 24, of Horicon, is accused of illegally shooting the prize buck near Horicon with a shotgun during bow hunting season on Dec. 31.
He faces six charges, including being a party to possessing game during a closed season and failing to attach an ear tag to a carcass.
Wayne A. Nisiewicz, 45, Anthony's father, also faces charges of being a party to possessing game during a closed season and obstructing a conservation warden.
Mark Miller, an official Pope & Young measurer, said the buck scored an unofficial 229 points in the organization's non-typical category.
"There's two different categories deer are measured into, typical or non-typical. The non-typical category bucks have a lot of extra points in non-typical locations. That's what made this buck fall into a non-typical category," Miller said.
With a 27-inch inside spread and horns covering 40 inches of a rack that measured 6 1/2 inches at its base, Miller said, it's the 37th largest buck ever recorded in the state of Wisconsin.
"If it had been shot with a bow and arrow, it would be the No. 3 or No. 4 bow kill ever recorded in the state," Miller said. "Ninety percent of people in the state have never seen a buck like this."
Department of Natural Resources conservation warden Paul Nell launched an investigation when a number of people reported hearing suspicious gunfire near Wayne Nisiewicz's home at N7115 Highway TW in Horicon on Dec. 31.
Anthony Nisiewicz told Nell he had shot the buck with a bow and arrow on the morning of Jan. 1 while he hunted behind an building on the Nisiewicz property, according to a criminal complaint.
Anthony said an arrow struck the deer behind the shoulder and passed through its body; the deer ran five or 10 feet and went down. He said he then registered the deer at Wild Goose Station in Mayville.
Wayne Nisiewicz also reportedly told Nell that Anthony had shot the buck with a bow and arrow on Jan. 1. However, he would not tell Nell the exact location of the kill.
According to a complaint, Nell also received photos from a confidential informant that showed the buck carcass in a shed on the Nisiewicz property without ear tags. It's a DNR violation to not immediately tag carcasses.
When Nell obtained a search warrant and sent the deer parts to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Forensic Laboratory, a forensic scientist concluded that two of the holes in the deer carcass contained lead particles, which indicated a bullet had passed through the carcass.
"When people see a buck like that, there's a temptation and it's unfortunate, we allege, that there was a wrong choice made," Nell said. "It was late in the season. That deer could have maybe made it through the season. We only had a couple days of the archery season left."
Miller said that the buck's prize rack would have continued to grow had it survived.
"This deer, according to how it was aged, hadn't reached it's truest potential. So, in theory, if it had made it through another year ... it would have put on anywhere between 10 and 20 more inches of horn. He could have potentially been a state record."
The Nisiewiczs will make their initial Dodge County Circuit Court appearances on misdemeanor charges Aug. 17.
