A white-tailed deer taken by a bowhunter this fall in Dodge County has been scored as the Wisconsin archery record for typical bucks.

The 13-pointer was shot on Oct. 11 by Adam Hupf of Beaver Dam. After the mandatory 60-day drying period, the rack was officially panel-scored Saturday in Green Bay by members of the Wisconsin Buck & Bear Club.

The rack measured 191 6/8 inches net (200 4/8 inches gross), according to information from the Wisconsin Buck & Bear Club. It had an 18 4/8 inch inside spread and 43 4/8 inch circumference,

The buck supplants the 187 7/8 inch deer taken in 2012 in Fond du Lac County by Dusty Gerrits of Waupun.

The biggest typical whitetail taken in North America with archery equipment is a 204 4/8 inch buck shot by M.J. Johnson in 1965 in Peoria County, Ill., according to records of the Pope and Young Club.

The state record typical whitetail taken by firearms is the 206 1/8 inch buck taken in 1914 by Jim Jordan in Burnett County, according to records kept by Wisconsin Buck & Bear Club and Boone and Crockett Club. The Jordan buck is the second largest typical whitetail taken by any means.

The measurers include Mark Miller of Wisconsin Buck & Bear Club, Pope and Young Club, Boone and Crockett Club; Stan Zirbel of Wisconsin Buck & Bear, Pope and Young, Boone and Crockett; Marlin Laidlaw of Wisconsin Buck & Bear; Earl Conradt of Wisconsin Buck & Bear, Pope and Young; Andy Sternagel of Wisconsin Buck & Bear; and Bucky Ihlenfeldt of Wisconsin Buck & Bear, Pope and Young, Boone and Crockett.

Additional information and photos are planned for release later this week, Ihlenfeldt said.
