Wisconsin hunter makes possible record-breaking buck discovery

From (Link: www.nbc15.com) If records are made to be broken, Orfordville hunter Nate Olsen's trophy buck may soon hold that title. “I've shed hunted a lot. I've hunted a lot. I have many, many miles on my boots looking for sheds. And to come across this, it's a diamond in the rough,” Olsen tells NBC15 News. Every winter, bucks drop their antlers and grow a new pair by the fall. Searching for these antlers has become known as “shed hunting,” a pastime that introduced Olsen to his new best friend. “The record for the biggest deer in Wisconsin ever to be found or killed is 253 inches. And he is flirting with breaking the record,” he says. “It's been 47 years. Let's see if he can do it." Olsen and a friend were shed hunting on February 1, when they came across a once in a lifetime find. “I froze in my tracks. I tried getting [my friend’s] attention, couldn't say a word,” he says. The deer, and all 23 of its points, was tangled with another buck. After Olsen made the discovery, he called the Department of Natural Resources right away.
