RE: 3 days in Iowa (PICS)
If I count right there is 10 bucks. All with growth "outside the ears". First off isn't that what QDM is about? Managed harvest of does and only shooting more mature bucks? Seems like they did everyhting "right"
As far as the number goes what's the big deal? Very high pop. of deer and 10 bucks is not a lot. I hunt a high deer density of eastern ontario. Between our camp and the 2 within 1 mile of us there was 18 bucks taken during one week season and 11 would qualify as "mature". If we had of joined forces to transport them to the butcher it would have generated a similar shot. I've driven by the feilds just down the road and have seen LOTS of mature bucks which survived that week to "spread thier love"
Now if you question how tasteful the picture is that's a matter of opinion. I think shared amongst other hunters it might be appreciated a little more. I wouldn't show it off at the office.
