Monster Iowa bucks..and a Deere
I checked a camera I had out for a week in Iowa today. Man was i surprised. I looked at the pictures, i was blown away. If this works, this first buck should be a large 8 pointer, roughly 3 1/2 years of age, in velvet. I think he's a 140 class buck, although i could use another look. If he weren't such a large buck for being an 8, i'd probably pass him to get some age. However, if i get a tag for over there this Dec., I'll shoot him given the chance.

Ok..That last one worked great..this buck is a 3 1/2 year old 10 pointer, with a huge rack, but he doens't quite have the mass yet. I'm thinking in the 135-145 range. Very symmetrical and tall. Just a dandy buck all around. Not mature yet, but a huge buck.

This big boy I have5 pictures of, and they all look the same. In every picture over a week long period, he has the velvet hanging off his right main beam. Very cool i thought. I think he beds to the right of the camera in a clear cut. he's also a 4 1/2 year old buck, because of his awesome body size, sagging gut, and full neck and chest. when he starts putting on the weight, he's going to be a pig of a buck. I estimate him as a 145-150 buck, because he's roughly 20" inside, tall, and heavy.

And here's the mack daddy of them all..weighing in at a few tons, the John Deere 650G bulldozer. Our dozer guy was clearing some roads and drove past my camera. thought it was cool how the deere emblem was in the camera. any ideas what this bad boy will score? I'm thinking you'd need more than a few 12 gauge slugs to bring him down

Hey 67, real nice pictures, Thanks!
A good 12ga slug will bring down a bigger deer than that, don't fool yourself.
Theres guys in states that only allow shotguns for hunting and I've seen some
huge deer taken with slugs.
