Iowa deer down

Great buck man, way to go, it was worth the "badge of honor".

Nice Stink!  We didn't have much luck.  Dad ended up with a mature 8, real thick horns, but very short tines.  I put in all 5 days all day long and never had a shot op at a mature deer. Heck, the only buck I could have shot that was decent was a small 2.5yo 8pt.  It was a weird hunt, I hunted some good places and saw very few deer.  The local guys said it was one of the toughest bow seasons they've had in a while.  We did some deer drives mid day and saw very few as well.  We pushed some places that are loaded with deer every year, and would push out nothing, one doe, a few doe, etc.  It was just plain weird.

Congrats Stink!!!  Did you kill him sitting on stand/blind, still hunting, or during a drive?

Yep...I didn't see as many deer this year either.

I was still hunting my way back to the truck.  I hunt by myself, so drives don't really work for me...except for when the neighboring properties get pushed.
