« Open Thread Weekend: How's the Hunting? | Main | Go to Hanback's New BIG DEER Blog! »
I asked how the hunting went this weekend--great for this guy! Got this email: Oh my! The first 200-incher of the year! Don't know much about this buck, supposedly southwest Iowa, killed October 4, score unoffical at 200 7/8.
Dang, what a deer, split G-2s are cool...super-long G-3s...if anybody knows more, tell us...would love to hear from the hunter, great job man...T-shirt is spot on.
BTW, new BIG DEER coming this PM, stay tuned...

that is not the look i would have on my facei if i just arrowed an 200+" buck with a bow.....
in the day and age of deer farms and raising super bucks.... i would be leary of anyhting that big unless they had harvest footage, not saying it is not legit, just not sure i would buy into it unless proven.... like they say in Missouri, show me!!
also saw a buddies emails this weekend of a supposed 230" typical killed this season.......yes 230 net wouldn't that be a world record......
funny thing is the gross was only a few inches bigger and we saw at least 30 inches of deductions........
i think there had been some photo shopping done on it

Holy smokes- those G 3's must be approaching 15 inches with 26 + inch beams-you have to be kidding. Hey bud-I'd be smiling the rest of my life ! Can't wait to see the specifics on the score sheet. I think I've found a new dream buck ! WOW what A HARVEST !! I have buck fever just from the photo !

Monster right there. One of scores of 200" bucks from the Hawkeye state. When I hunted Iowa in 2005 a 183" typical, a 175" typical, and a 169" typical were all taken in the area I was in in a 5 day span...with archery gear. I was going gaga over bucks that the locals wouldn't even draw on. Iowa's management is set up to produce all those giant bucks. Imagine bowhunting the ENTIRE month of November!!
