Bucher Bags Early Season Wisconsin Buck on Rubline.

Gross Score: 127 7/8" Eight Pointer
Date: 9/26/01

GEAR:
Bow: Hoyt Havoc
Arrow: Easton 2213
Broadhead: NAP Shock Wave 100 grn.

DETAILS:
Joe located heavily used rub line on t-shaped treeline corner near a watering hole. Past experiences has suggested that watering holes are "hot" in September; particularly in the morning. This buck was heard rubbing trees in the distance. Two does approach and walk right beneath Joe's stand around 7 A.M. Shortly afterwards, this nice 8 point works his way toward the stand rubbing trees and feeding along his way back to his bedding area. Eventually, the buck passed by Joe's stand at 12 yards.

All this action was being captured on camera by Scott Knepprath. Great video on a beautiful crisp, cold late September morning. This hunt will be featured on next fall's Hunting with Joe Bucher Deer Hunt Specials.
