Possible 250"Iowa Whitetail?
 
It is all over other blog-sites that last Friday a young man shot a giant whitetail near Maqoketa, IA. Mike Hanback's blog-site said he saw the picture and it is all true. If anyone knows where to see this deer, I would love to see it. The two other sites I have been watching had the pictures but pulled them at the request of the dad. Needless to say I was too late to see them. If I shot something like that I would have pictures everywhere, barring I could figure out how to put them on!

A friend of mine from Iowa emailed me the pics this morning. It was killed about about 60 miles from where he lives/hunts. He said everything he has heard about it is legit. What a buck! Reminds me of the Shumaker buck from 2 years ago.

Ummm yeah I am speechless, I never have been. Most bucks with all the rack look messed up too me. But that deer is pretty. I mean fine wow. Wide, typical frame thats actually symetrical with all those stickers. Wow what a absolute dream buck.

Looks like he might have been in aserious firefightwith the big guy too. LOL
He has a snapped off arrow AND what looks like another bloody one in his quiver by looking at the fletching?

Call me crazy and it very wellmight not bebe but on Whitetail Freaks tonight this looks alot like a deer they have on footage in the opening start of the show. This is bigger but the other was obviously in the past few years so it could be him at a glance. Interesting. Whitetail freaks is out of Iowa I believe.

Another reason there isn't much demand for 1 arrow quivers!!!:D Shoot 'em til they're dead!!

I'm going out on a limb and saying we have at least a new Archery state record....Beautiful Buck and congrats.

Im speachless, that thing is unreal. A huge congrats goes out to the lucky hunter.
