One fall evening, we got the call that a monster buck was shot by our friend and customer Jim Baker and he was on the way to the shop. Upon first sight we knew this was a special buck and a quick tape measure proved that! Surpassing the former non-typical state-record archery buck taken in 2009 by Wayne Schumacher, which scored 243 6/8”, the “Jim Baker Buck” has a total of 28 measureable points, a 19 7/8” inside spread, and 66 6/8” of abnormal points, and achieved an official non-typical score of 260 5/8” gross and 249 5/8” net scorable inches, and is now officially recognized as the current Wisconsin state record for non-typical bucks in the archery records.
The “Jim Baker Buck” taken in Waukesha County Wisconsin is another example of why Wisconsin continues to be the number one spot in North America for trophy whitetails. Wisconsin currently ranks number one in Boone & Crockett and Pope & Young record entries.
