SHORTY

Dylan Guelig - Wisconsin - November 10th, 2025

By: Brennen Nading (@nadingbr)

Dylan has had "Shorty" on camera the last 4 seasons.  He's not a buck that has grown a ton from year to year but he has consistently shown up on their land in the early part of October.  The first encounter happened in 2023, but he was not a target deer that year.  In 2024 he had become a target buck.  He would have a couple encounters with "Shorty" in 2024 but nothing in bow range.  2025 rolls around and "Shorty" makes his appearance once again in early October!  Dylan had been focusing his efforts on another buck that he calls "Ozzy", but "Shorty" was now on the short list of shooters as well.  On the morning of November 10th, after a heartbreaking encounter with "Ozzy" chasing a doe under their tree, "Shorty" came out of nowhere and Dylan made the shot count!
