I've used the same tactic you described and made it a lot more versatile by buying a lone wolf hang on stand and lone wolf sticks. It used to be I would sneak into an area and have to find a straight tree to put my climber up, which sometimes would not be in the ideal location. Now I can hunt out of just about any tree.

Thanks for the kind words everyone, the excitement has yet to wear off.
Goes to show that you never know what may walk by in Iowa during the rut!
Mountain Man - I didn't get any big ones on film this year, but still trying.
ISHEDHUNT - I haven't measured his neck yet but I will let you know. How's your hunting going?
G6/Saskguy - I had him rough scored by three different people. We all under guessed him but he grossed 158+. I think because he has such a huge head and neck it appears the rack is smaller than it actually is.
He has 25 1/2' main beams, 71/2+ inch brows, 11" & 12" G2's, 8" & 9" inch G3's, 18 7/8 spread and good mass.
Shooter - Haven't weighed him and I'm not sure if I will. I would have to say he weighs around 210+. I will let you know if I do weigh him though.
Buckhunter - I didn't cut a single shooting lane, in fact he walked in one of the only lanes I did have, luckily.
Greendeem - I too used a Lone Wolf tree stand and climbing sticks . . . they are absolutely the best!
I hope you each shoot a monster this year.
Thanks and good huntin,

Right on OneCam, that's dandy buck, I hope I'm lucky enough to get one like that. It makes sense I guessed low on the gross, he does have a big head and neck, anyways great job!

Jeezzz now I see where I messed up on the score. I figured the beams at 24, 7 on the long brow, 11 on the long G2, 8 on the G3 but only wrote down 12 inches for the 2 (duh) and 4 inches average for the mass. I usually figure a buck low which doesn't hurt my feelings when I go measuring them after they're down.

What a tremendous 8-pointer. We'd call him a 4x4 where I come from but I learn the eastern lingo from my hunters!
It takes a great 4x4 to score well, but I think this will be one of those deer that is the exception to the rule. But then again a net score on a deer like this never really tells the tale. LOOK AT THE NECK ON THAT BUCK!
Congrats on making good on your opportunity. Rattling works!
