I live in central Iowa, north of Des Moines and hunt south central Iowa south of Knoxville.

Which hunt did you get? I put in for Whetstone but didn't get drawn.

I'll be pulling cards this weekend to see what there is to see.

Well, at least half the team checked in anyway.

I was just looking at that, that got 10 more days so hopefully we'll have some more check in.

What are you're guys' biggest bow deer? Mine was 147" shot at 35 yds, unfortunately I can no longer hunt this property.

My largest was 144 I shot at 3 yards but I have on camera what a couple people are telling me is a 170. We shall see once late October gets here. The 144 is my avatar.

I don't remember exactly but just under 140. The smallest buck that I have ever shoot was a "mistake" . He had the exact same antler configuration as a older deer. It was getting pretty dark and I messed up. He was an 8 point that scored 112. Funny thing is I was on the winning team that year and he was one of the bigger bucks. Of the 10 members we killed 8 bucks. That was back before does were allowed. I am fairly particular with my bucks but would expect one between 120 and 140. We hunt a low fence Texas hill country lease and the deer are not exactly monsters...LOL.
