2nd Buck 155" 10 point Iowa Whitetail with bow

This is my second buck i have ever harvested. Im 18 years old and saw this buck on the opening day of bow season, but couldn't get him close enough for a comfortable shot (20 yards.) During the season i passed up a ton of little bucks, even a 120" 8 point, because i wanted this buck. On the last day of bow season just before like 10 guys were going to go through there with shotguns, this deer finaly walked down the trail to me. I was shaking so bad i thought my arrow was going to fall off of my rest. when he got to about 15 yards i mouth grunted at him and he stopped. So i took my time and put the arrow where it counted double lung. It is a good thing there wasn't any golfers golfing that day because this deer ran out to the middle of the fairway and died. instead of taking pictures on the golf course we loaded it on the four wheeler and brought it to the corn field that i hunt by.

my boss at the sporting goods store measured him and came out with 155" and some change... I will have him officially scored after the drying period.

I hope the pictures load....
