Which Buck Is My Dad’s? A 50-Year-Old Wisconsin Hunting Story
Last month while visiting my mom and dad, I asked Dad about a buck he shot a long time ago.
A really nice eight-point.
The kind of deer that sticks in a hunter’s memory for the rest of his life.
It was probably more than 50 years ago. Maybe closer to 60.
Back then he had a full shoulder mount made. For years the buck hung in their living room. Eventually it was donated to the nature center at the Navarino Wildlife Area.
The other day I decided to go see if I could find it.
