Our friend Adam Wogsland of Iola, Wis., brought this dandy 4.5-year-old buck to our offices yesterday. He arrowed the 150-inch 10-pointer the previous evening while hunting a patch of oak woods.

"I got set up in my tree stand around 5:15 p.m.," Adam said.  "At 5:30, I grunted three long grunts followed by a series of three short grunts.  Around 5:50 p.m., he came down a trail behind me, and I was able to stop him at about 6 yards and made a solid double lung shot.  He went around 75 yards and piled up.  I was about 30 yards off of a third-crop hayfield and 20 yards from a corn field.  He was traveling through an area that splits the two fields and has a couple of crab apple trees and a bunch of sumac trees."

Congrats to Adam on one mighty fine early season whitetail!

Note: Adam’s Cuddeback photo is of the same buck from last year. The photos below show a right-side shed found earlier this year and gives you a good idea of how much larger this year's antler was by comparison.
