1) in Iowa
2) 4 blocks from home
3) very large whitetail buck
4) Frito-Lay step van

Not sure how many points he was. By the time I got back to him some had cut off his antlers.
Several thousand $ damage to the truck.
One very upset boss.

What Game animal: Whitetail buck, scored 125 and some change. (this buck is entered in the pope & young record book.)
