With so many large whitetail bucks in the record books, the chances of taking a new number one seem impossible. Yet each year, one lucky hunter seems to take down a new state record.
Adam Hupf wasn’t sure that his big deer would make number one, so he took a low-key approach and waited patiently for the news, as reported in this OutdoorHub post.
“The ‘Adam Hupf buck’ taken in Dodge County Wisconsin is another example of why Wisconsin continues to be the number one spot in North America for trophy whitetails,” the WBBC said in a press release. “Wisconsin currently ranks number one in Boone & Crockett and Pope & Young record entries.”
According to Bucky Ihlenfeldt, president of the Northeast Chapter of the WBBC, Hupf took the deer at a distance of nine yards with his bow. The hunter had already taken large trophy-sized deer in previous years, including a 200-inch non-typical and a 160-class typical. Yet when Hupf recovered the deer with the help of his father and brother, he could hardly believe his eyes.
