The unusual mount even may have been displayed at a show in the Dakotas, he said. Ubl, 63, who was a sales rep for American Archery at the time, said Hall had the heads of the entangled bucks mounted, and the racks were stars of the show at Whitetail Classic events across Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan. Both bucks qualified for Pope and Young, the official record keeper for deer and other big game animals taken by archery, he writes. The head of the disembodied buck had 19 points and measured 19½ inches wide, Ubl said. The United Press International news service also published a story about the Hall buck dated Dec. Judging by the sunken eyes and the condition of what remained of the cape, the disembodied buck had been dead several weeks, Ubl writes in his story. Managers from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources who later saw the 10-point, 195-pound buck said it killed the other buck and severed the head with its hooves. It took some doing, Ubl writes, but Hall finally managed to arrow and kill the buck. The buck charged and chased Hall about 20 yards after his first shot before turning back into the swamp, Ubl writes in his story. As Ubl writes in his story, Hall was able to track the buck through 8 inches of snow, getting to within about 35 feet of the deer when he jumped it after a half-mile walk.
