A Boy's Buck
Wisconsin Youth Deer Season pays big dividends for a 15 year old.
 Youth hunts are great and I applaud every state agency that’s going the distance to make it easier for youth to hunt, especially America’s favorite game animal, the whitetail deer. Here’s the photo of a very, very lucky and happy young Wisconsin hunter. The information included with this information indicates this young hunter scored big in Grant County Wisconsin. So far I couldn’t find the boy’s first name, but apparently his family name is Williams and he’s 15 years old. AdvertisementRelated PhotosSUBMIT YOUR PHOTOSADVERTISEMENT |

That would be a tough call. To get a replica AND the $61,000... I know what my wife would want, and I could use that kind of cash. I can only hope that I might face that dilemma sometime in the future.
That 61000 invested right would have went a long way towards his college education. Throw in a replica mount I would have made the deal.
hes one proud young man and well he should be.great buck!
Wow that is an awesome buck, good for him. Tough call on the money though.
Decisions involving that much money usually come down to how much money you have in the first place. If this young man is parked in front of the family home it looks pretty upscale and there are a couple of quads on the porch. They value the buck just as anyone but are likely in a position to value the keepsake more than money. It is an odd notion but most people with money think less about it than people without, especially those who have earned every dime. Considering it takes sense to make the dollars, you would expects some commonsense to be used in spending the dollars. Clearly, these folks have options open to them, that in itself makes for clear headed decision making. My mind is pretty clear - the $60,000 would be in the bank the next day!!
yeah it wouldnt of took me more then about 5 seconds to say yes to 61,000, plus a replica, I mean you have the deer replica plus 61000 dollars on top of being able to go see your deer anytime.. but then again keeping its just as good too
Simply put...memories are priceless
I'm pretty sure those photo's were taken at Cabela's. The building looks similiar to all of the Cabela's I have been to. and as for taking the money....that could go towards a lot of "once in a lifetime hunts" around the world...
take 20k and let Cabelas make the replica for there store, you keep the deer
I feel kinda bad for this young man! Any of us hunters know how hard it would be to top that outside of a fence. good luck in the future. I know for myself i will only shoot bigger than what i have already taken. Maybe just have to go the other way shoot smaller and smaller until your at a small 8 point. nice job
I think you are right on target with that comment northmichhunter. How do you top that deer even if you hunted for the rest of your life... The massive buck that my brother and I had tried for a couple of seasons to shoot eluded us at every turn. It was on the family farm so we knew the lay of the land and often where he was bedded... we still only managed fleeting glances at him. He was shot by a kid standing broadside in a field visible from the road. It was one of the kid's first outings hunting. It still bugs me to think about so your comment hits home.. That big buck is still waiting out there for me and that kid would be pushing the odds to even see such an animal again!! Sour grapes I guess, but it works for me!
Seth was actually only 12 years old. Remember don't believe everything that you read on the internet!!! The buck and the boy are real- Most of the stories are not!!!!!!
I called the Prairie Du Chen Cabelas, according to the manager there they made no such offer.
Fun story anyway.
What deer could ever be worth that much?
Kody,
From what I understand the family works very hard in their family owned business for their money. (The business was built from the bottom up,they were not given it,) unlike car companies and agriculture, they do not get bailed out or given checks from the government when the economy/ weather do not cooperate. So don't assume that people don't appreciate the dollar. As for the money, if it were offered, it's the boy's buck. Condsider what he wants.
i agree with alot of you.but wat seth just said hots the nail on the head.why judge the family the kid or the money he has done something that none of use have done.My dad goes by i will shoot one bigger then one i have shot its ben nine years now and he has yet to shot one. its not about the size of the buck as much as it is the thrill of the hunt right.Everone has there own veiw of hunting and what they call huntin. my brother in law who is nine find a shed that scores 15 he thinks hes got the biggest horn in the woods me there nothing i have sheds that score over 200 in my living room the point is remember what it was like on your first hunt not being able to even draw your bow back your shakin so bad
Extreamly nice buck and congrats. I know i have seen the price of some deer before and i would have said no to the $25000 but for the $61000 i dont know it would have been a tough call i prob would have tried to work it with cabela's and get some free gear and stuff along with it but that much money for that rack would have been nice and i am kinda shocked that they would take it straight there to show them and not take any money. well i hope i get one like that some day and again congrats!!!
Awesome buck, it makes me wonder how would it feel if one of your very first bucks were that big? Are you devoted to a life a chasing bigger ones? Congrats dude!
