Washington County, WI – The gun deer season got underway November 18 and there was a lot of blaze orange waiting in anticipation. Kevin Gonring was bow hunting November 3 when he scored this monster 12 pointer.
The 12-pointer measured a rough score of 162 inches and 3/8. “Not a record but a good size for a 4-year-old,” Gonring said. “The inside spread was 13 inches and 3/4.”
It was November 3, 2023, when Gonring was in the woods. “The farmers were on the land next door taking the corn out of the field,” he said. “It was a warmer day, mid-30s, and I was hoping they would push something out of the field.
“I saw him out in the field chasing a doe and he came running into the woods, I was able to stop him for a broadside shot, I took the shot and I let him sit for a couple hours and tracked him about 800 yards before I found him.”
Gonring used a compound bow, and his shot was about 60 yards. “I hit it right behind the shoulder,” he said.
This is Gonring’s biggest deer to date.
