My take on shot placement (arrowed). I've shot 213 deer myself and have been with quite a few others. My average shot distance I'd say is 15 yards. My bows aren't " fast". Even at close range, where I thought (seen) my arrow hit is OFTEN not the case. A deer running with an arrow sticking out...

Can Iowas landscape produce,and keep a healthy herd if #s were to double? I know many guys complain about low deer numbers in western Mn. Our landscape is being absolutely destroyed habitat wise. Old farmstead are being torn down, shelterbelts being removed, grassy fence lines are being ripped...

Past his prime! Be a chewy old bugger.

Yep. Got lots around here. Never see them but my cat sure catches a pile of

Congrats. Great picture!

I truly believe the term " cull bucks" gets thrown around WAY to much. Would really like to know how many actually send in a tooth to get the age analyzed? I've had the horrible genetic trait here for 30 years, (no browtines. Like none,zip, natta.... I've tried (by listening to others) to kill...

Dream hunt.

Decrease in good habitat is happening. Deer can't eat dirt. Although I've spent 45 years " party hunting" in Mn, (and have loved it), it gets abused HUGELY! (Guilty). Senerio #1 let's say you own 100 acres. You have one buck tag. You fill that tag early. Way more prone to let a few others...

Well done.

Solid bucks!

This buck has been beating the crap out of this post for weeks. Set a buddy up close to it and Monday morning, he killed it.

Where I hunt in Nw Mn, our deer #s have definitely increased past few years. 2 extremely mild winters in a row and our hunter #s are down (like WAY down). I've heard FOUR shots since Saturday. Used to sound like WW2 around here. The age class of bucks (older) is tremendous now. Best I've seen in...

You want this to be about Iowa only Skip?

Neat old buck. Liver shot?

Terrible morning movement in Mn this morning. Had 10 friends in super spots and only 3 saw deer. I drove about 60 miles this morning starting at just before day break for 2 hours and seen a total of 7 deer. Came back to the cabin at 11 to feed the woodstove and from 11 to 11 30, my backyard and...

Have shot my bow more in the past 4 days then the last 4 years. Just feels satisfying hearing those big logs hit the target.

Great story/ buck!

Are these them 83. I have 12 new ones.

I'm actually delighted not running cell cams this year. Past couple year, NO DOUBT they helped me kill a buck. We [ us older guys】 most likely have all gone through phases over the years. At " that time", we all think it's ok,fun,ect. But its also quite rewarding to just go back to how we...

haha, yes, they do come in handy for us MacGyver types for sure.
