JJL Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Anyone heard this story or have any insight into it. I've received several e-mails about the story, thought we might have a little local insight. Usually these show up every year, some are true, some aren't...................still a good deer. Shot by an Amish boy with hand made long bow: This buck was taken by a 14 year old Amish boy near Dalton WI . He used a hand made long bow and made the killing shot by stalking the huge buck using corn shocks for cover. The boy's family would not allow him to pose with the trophy animal for pictures so a nearby neighbor, Willie Flacid posed and is also acting as spokesman for the Amish boy. According to Flacid, the Amish family has already received several offers from outdoor sporting companies to purchase the trophy. No dollar amount has been announced yet, but according to Flacid, 'the amount of money being offered is enough that no one would ever be hard up again.

WHISKEYSWAMP Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Here's a link to a buck killed by an Amish guy in 2006 in Ohio... There was an email going around last year that it was killed in Wisconsin and several other places. http://blog.kingsoutdoorworld.com/2006/11/04/amish-hunter-bags-monster-whitetail-deer/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulldawg Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 A lot of the Amish up where I hunt, raise deer as a business venture. They have acres and acres of land, and I could see where some nice wild ones might start hanging around even in those areas. Dawg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 I see red X's but Dalton is about 4 miles from my land. I haven't heard of any big ones this year but, the Amish have killed them in the past. I doubt it was with a longbow though, they're probably shooting Matthews...
