Here are a couple of Iowa Bucks from last weekend

Jonny and i do lots of hunting (deer, pheasant and turkey) as well as being musky partners we see lots of ups and downs....

we both enjoyed some sweet success last weekend catching both hunts on film!!!

Iowa is not known for its musky fishing, but as far as deer goes.....its the MECCA!!!

Jonny's deer first, followed by mine!!!

My 2007 Rifle deer. 21 3/8" inside spread true 4x4 with no sticker or kicker points. Shot a couple of miles from my home.

EDIT to add: Scored him last night when we were taking him to the taxidermist at 151 2/8"

It is my sad duty to report that one of my students shot a feral pig with his bow in the McNaughton area of Oneida county, about a 150# that was with three others, one over 300#. I have the pictures to confirm it.

THA4, I think I saw that first deer about 12 years ago while in IA pheasnat hunting! Man, that is one grey dude!

JS, I'll have to give "the TV host" some binness next time I see him! Which could be very soon. Did he get that land he was looking at last month?

This beast was on the move 11/08. At 11:45am I noticed some movement and watched as this buck chased two does through the woods and out of sight. Within 10 minutes two more 1.5 year old bucks walked under my stand in the same direction. I waited approximately 20 minutes and began a calling sequence that started with a snort wheeze then a short and fairly soft rattle follwed with a couple grunts. 10 minutes later I notice more movement and he had left the two does and was coming for me. At 20 yards I drew my Bowtech and let out a grunt to stop him. The arrow flew true and the NAP mechanical did it's job. The deer traveled only 70 yards. I looked at my watch and it was now 12:35pm. What a sureal moment walking up on this magnificant animal. It was my birthday and what an awesome present!!!

I was able to accurately put a tape on him finally and it totals up to 167 and 5/8 gross SCI (green). Here are the stats:
Beams 23 1/8 and 23 3/8
G-1's 3 4/8 and 6 4/8
G-2's 11 2/8 and 11 5/8
G-3's 8 6/8 and 8 6/8
G-4's 5 4/8 and 4 1/8
Circumfences are fair but not great in the upper 4's down to mid 3's. A 19 and 5/8 inside spread is also included. 7 inches of abnormal points are included for the two extra brow tines.

Good luck to all you musky nuts and bow hunters!!!

First deer in the last 4, yes, I said 4 seasons came Sunday PM by Shemane (nickname for my Renegade Nuge bow. I name all my weapons after women, and Shemane is Ted Nugent's wife). After waiting ten heart exploding minutes, I spined her right under the tree. The Grim Reaper Razortip SMASHED straight through a vertebrae, through the top of the right lung, then obliterated a rib on the way out, while shot from a bow set to 62#, shooting at around 216 fps.
Othe than now being dull, coated with blood and tissue, and on display at the shop, the head is still totally intact.

I forgot what Ven tasted like, until a year ago, when Sworral had Chuck and I over for lunch. LOL. Now that I have the "Golden ticket" (earn-a-buck sticker), that non-typicall gnarlly dude I saw last week is TOAST!

This is definately not the biggest doe I ever shot (not even close), but now the pressure is off. Cape is getting tanned hair-on for my grandaughter, so she has something warm to put her feet on as she gets out of bed in the morning.
Taking her on a 30 acres that my Grandpa bought when my dad was 12, and him saying "you payed $200 for this? you are crazy!"
One less deer that is chewing on my uncle's tree nursery, PRICELESS!

(64.105.147.181) I agree , good luck and be SAFE !!! There are a lot of preventable accidents that happen every year , just a couple extra seconds could save someones life if not your own . Also remember , getting there is half the battle so DRIVE safe !!! The deer aren't going anywhere until they're being chased and/or shot at !!! Almost killed myself and my dad when I was 12 yrs. old ... he let me drive the last 100 miles of the trip on the way deer hutning in S.E. Minnesota . A buck ran out and I blasted him with our '79 Bronco that sat up on 37" tires . I did the complete wrong thing ( remember I was only 12 , that was 20 some years ago ) and locked up the tires and turned to miss the dear !!! After many drastic measures to keep it straight and on the road , I got the truck stopped . It only took about 1 second to flatten that deer , and about 50 yards of holding on for " deer " life and missing trees and the guard rail , glad it turned out the way it did . Got a good luck charm out of the deal , stopped on the way home ( 1 week later ) where I hit the deer , low and behold there was a pice of his antler laying on the side of the road !!!

This is my 2007 bow kill. Shot just miles from the Mississippi in a little town west of Desoto. This 8 point frame 11 pointer came behind me 25 yards away and gave me no shot. I had to watch him rip up a few trees and make a scrape just 40 yards from the tree I was in. He then came back the same way he came and I had to pass again. This time he walked up a hill worked a scrape in the sky line. What a sight and sick feeling as he slipped into the darkness. About 10 minutes later I heard the sound of two deer. First a doe and then my buck. This time he took a trail that crossed a shooting lane and the arrow took him out.

Pictures do not do him justice. Eight point frame with three kicker points. Scored at 158 green score. 20 inch inside spread with matching 10.5-inch g2's. Main beams were 24.25 and 23.5. Not the biggest in the area but at 5.5 years old and 215 dressed he could hold his own.

I shot this buck on opener morning with my tikka T3 270cal at about 30yds
I saw three bucks come from the same tree line within like 15 minutes and they just kept getting bigger first a 4pt then a 6pt, then this guy came along and I couldn't pass him up. While loading this deer up, my brother saw an even larger buck just walk up within 50yds of us from the same spot, but my dad missed both shots on it, blaming that his scope got jarred after previously falling.

I shot this buck last week with my bow. His g-2's and g-3's were over 10 inches. I dont know what he will score,but he is by far my largest so it really doesnt matter.I happened to look to the right and he was trotting right at me. I turned drew my bow, grunted and let loose. It ran 30 yds and dropped. The whole thing lasted 10 seconds. It was the first time I have ever yelled after shooting a deer. The best part is that my dad was out there with me.

way to go guys!
I wished mine lasted only ten seconds... I looked at mine as she looked at me for ten minutes (during the "autopsy" I took out the upper part of the right lung). I said "would you please die already?" I was still on maximum adrenillien dumpage.

Pulled the "victory dance" out of the pack. hit the Wiesers for a shot. 5 minutes go by. I'm still downloading the newest version of ultimate lifestye upgrade. take another victory dance. 5 more minutes go by. If anyone can calm my nerves at this point, it's my wife, Lori (lolleitta). i call her and ask her to confirm her order for fresh Veni, and let her know it's being delivered within the hour. Not her fault, whatsoever, but i think her craving ven made me shake even worse with this deer looking at me.
I hang up the phone. Nock, draw, aim for the heart, and connect with the liver! Great, now I've done more damage to this deer's heart and lungs, and liver than I've done to my own in the last 40 years! I climbed down (out of a ladder stand), and said, "youd better be dead by the time I get back here with the truck!"

20 minutes later, after calling a few of my buds (sorry K-bob, I knew you would not pick up if you were working) i go back, and she is still alive, but close to giving up the ghost. 5 hours from where I shot her to when she ended up in the freezer. Sworrall told me his record from back from registration is like 30 minutes, if i remember right.

Iowa truly has some giants, seen some monsters out waterfowling this year.

A friend of my uncle got this one recently with a bow, rough scored somewhere in the 180 range. A co-worker emailed me a picture of a similar sized buck this season also but I deleted it already. It was cool though becouse in the picture he had the same deers sheds from the previous three years that he had found.

Did you sight in, Justin? But the bigger question is..... Did you get that land you told me about?

Somebody is going to be quite proud when they take the big 10'er I almost hit on Tuesday. About 20 miles east of Point, this thing was a very, very nice buck. He put on the skids as I was decelerating from 70 to 20. Stood and watched me for a bit, then swung that rack around, and wide stepped it back into the woods. Awesome sight. got the juices flowing for tomorrow!

Good luck to all, and be safe!

Yeah, I'm sighted in. Doesn't mean much. I can't hit squat when it grows big antlers. Luckily my longest shot is 100 yards this year. Unfortunately I did not get that land, didn't act quickly enough and it got away on me. It's OK though, I think Sarah will shoot me with my sighted in rifle if I don't buy her a wedding ring soon, so it's time for me to pony up.

Just got off the phone with my brothers back in WI. Guess they are doing pretty well so far, with an 11 pointer, 7 and 3, plus 4 does. Some of the group not yet reporting. Wish I was back in Wisco this week!

Getting a few pics in from the crew back home.
Pic 1 of the 11 pt
Pic 2 of the buck one of my brothers shot
Pic 3 of my mule-tail (hybrid) taken in Montana

Hpefully more to come!

Bah had 2 nubbers by my stand, so i sat watchin em, musta been twins. Then, they looked to the north and took off, over the ridge comes down a nice buck...pretty much walking a zig zag, then stuck tight to the top and about 10 minutes later he went up the other side(think he crossed the road). My fault for not brushing my property, I never had a clear shot. 22 minutes later across south shore drive, KABOOM. I doubt I'll be seeing him again >.< It's almost like getting to your favorite big fish spot, only to find someone there with the big one on. Glad we got a whole week hahaha

you bring booze in the woods with you? how smart is that?

i'm sure (at least pretty sure), you arent dumb enough to get wasted out there, but I would guess a CO would not be too impressed if they saw that.
