I hunted Tuesday afternoon ... Seen 3 bucks and a doe... Didnt see anything chasing but did here some bucks fighting that I couldnt see through the timber.. One of the bucks I seen was decent but he wouldnt come in.. Was grunting and doe bleating but he was to busy with his scrapes I reckon lol..

Okay guys here he is.
His total score was 160 1/8. I was reaaally being picky on the scoring. I rounded down most of the time if possible. I would post up the score sheet but we misplaced it at the cabin. Heres what I remember. Spread: 19 1/8. g2s: 9-10 inches brow: 5-6 inches. main beams: 22ish and 24ish. First circum on both sides was little over 5 inches. 2nd circum on both sides for a little under 5 inches. 3rd was around 4 in a half 4th was 4 1/8 and 3 7/8. The two abnormal points were 2 7/8 and if im correct the other was 2 5/8. Total of 12 scoreable points. Close up on him. Sort of make him looks small haha. My biggest buck up to date. Passed up alot of nice 130-140s this year. Starting thursday night I saw a total of 18 different bucks up until saturday evening. Just about every one we saw was chasing a doe and grunting. I got alot of good footage. I apologize for the long read. I had been getting alot of trail cam pictures of this guy and was getting all excited about him but they were all night time photos. I had also been chasing this really nice 150-160 inch 8 pointer. Nice wide deer. But he just wouldnt get close enough through the season. Thursday evening started out with three does coming out, couple small bucks coming out, and then a decent 120ish buck came out and started chasing those does around. Then I did see anything for awhile and it was about a half hour or so till sunset so I still had a little while for shooting. I look to my right and theres a nice 9 pointer that came in. I bleated at him, grabbed my bow, got the camera on and the closer he came to me the smaller he got. He was still a nice respectful deer but he wasn't what I was after. He walked under my stand and he spooked a little so I went ahead and shut the camera off. I looked back to where this 9 pointer came from and this buck (I named him Hot Shot because he always poses in front of my cameras) came walking in the same path the 9 went. I got a glimpse of him, saw he was a nice deer. Then he stopped and started staring at me. It happend so fast that I thought he was the big 8 pointer I was chasing. I said heck with the camera, I slowly grabbed my bow (as he was looking at me). It was a do or die situation. As hes staring at me, I slowly pull back. I just get ready to shoot when I feel my upper came hitting the branch I hang my bow on. So im glad I didn't shoot there. I crouch down a little bit, and let the arrow fly. Smoked him. Ran 50ish yards and dropped dead against a tree. Heck of a hunt!! |
I dont know if we need a picture with a tag on the deer or not, but heres one I got with the phone the next morning when he was hanging.

Congrats Andrew and CamoKenny !! Awesome Iowa Bucks !!
CamoKenny I'll get ur buck posted on the Score Thread Andrew - I cant see any of the photos you posted and do you have the exact measurements to make up the 160 1/8 ??? Just curious it would be alot easier than for me to try to add everything up and this and that to get the number outta ur estimates.. I'll see what I can come up with.. Update I got the photos off your Facebook for posting.. Thanks |
When I scored the deer all I had for a paper plate to write on and of course my dad didn't notice the writing on it when he threw it away.
Is it a requirement to have all the measurements posted? My buck is down at the taxidermist right now. |
