Josh Andrews Gun Buck

Congrats to Josh Andrews on his giant buck taken on the 9-day gun season! Here is Josh’s story:

“I hadn’t seen a lot of rutting activity the last few weekends as I was bow hunting and thought maybe I had just mis-timed it and they were locked down. I saw several smaller bucks chasing does the first couple hours of the morning and all of a sudden I saw a flash and realized a bigger 8 I had seen on camera was chasing a doe across the field I was sitting in. I brought my rifle up and was bringing my face down to my scope when I saw this guy trotting toward them. I wheeled and squeezed one off and he veered 90degrees and ran and my heart just sank. After about 50 yards he just stopped and looked back at me. I had already racked another shell and pumped one into his boiler room. He went about 40 yards and tipped over just inside the wood line. We found the entry for first shot behind the ribs on the left, and the second just behind the shoulder on the right.  He dressed out at 190lbs. Without a doubt the largest buck I’ve ever taken and probably ever will.”

That must’ve been an amazing feeling seeing this buck through your scope! Good thing it happened so fast as I’m sure buck fever would’ve set in fast on this one making a sure shot real shaky! This is an amazing buck and Josh also has some additional pics of this giant in velvet. All I can say is, “Wow!” Josh is the Service Sales Account Representative on the 3rd floor at the De Pere office so stop in and shake the hand of a monster buck slayer! I can’t wait to get the official score as this one will surely be a contender. Josh brought this in to get caped for a head mount so as soon as he gets his antlers back, we will get a tape on it.
