I was fortunate to get this Iowa buck on Veterans Day. Shot him at 10:15 am. At the time I had 142 hours on stand. The rut this year wasn't the best with very little rutting action seen. Actually I didn't see a lot of deer just a weird year. Many bowhunters reported the same problem.
The buck grossed 149 2/8 with a 15 inch spread. He's not my biggest but he'll look good on the wall. The mount will be a Coombs wall pedestal 9700.

Absolutely beautiful. 140 some odd hours on the stand will give you and idea what it takes to get a deer like that with a bow. TV shows make it seem like it happens every time on the stand, but it is just not that way. It takes a lot of dedication. Well done.
Awesome deer and with a bow, congrats!!
Nice buck for sure. Congrats. It was a slow rut. Warm temps probably played a role. I saw the biggest buck I've seen in 21 year of bow hunting in a piece we both hunt. I've been wondering if you got him. Hopefully the shot gun hunters did not get him and one of us will get a crack next year. Once again congrats on a dandy of a buck. I will post pictures of mine and my wife's deer soon. Merry Christmas.
Super nice buck, especially with a bow. When I used to bow hunt any deer with a bow was a trophy to me. Congrats!
very nice buck. Sounds like you earned it. It's nice to know I wasn't the only one thinking the rut was wired this year. Nice Switchback to by the way.
Nice buck, brother!!!! I'd be awfully proud of him.
Congratulations, rarely are bucks of this caliber taken easily.
Wow!!
Good lookin deer. Congrats

Congrats. He was worth the time in that stand!
That's a dandy buck, congrats
Beautiful Buck! Send a few of those west for your neighbors across the river! Congrats!
That's a dandy for sure. Makes mine look exceptionally small. But then, that's because it was.
