RE: This buck versus the bucks in your area....
If i was hunting wisconsin with a rifle, I would take him, but maybe not opening morning.With a bow, i would hold out on shooting him until December or January if he's the only one i could get a shot at. he's a nice buck.
But in Iowa.....you probably wont get laughed at for shooting a little buck but you probably aint gonna get any double takes. 140" is about right fora 3 1/2 year in iowa, some bigger, some smaller. I had a shot at two bucks like him in iowa, one was 15 yards away upwind. had the crosshairs right on him but let him walk, even though it was the last day. No, i would let him grow two more years. with the high amount of Nutritional forage in Wisconsin and Iowa, he could have some potential.
Congrats on the kill BTW.
