OK HERE'S THE SHORT STORY. THE FIRST DEER ON THE LEFT WAS MY FIRST SEASON(FIRST SHOT) SHOTGUN BUCK- NOT WHAT I EXPECTED, BUT COULDN'T PASS UP A GENEROUS 147'' GROSS ABNORMAL 12 POINTER WITH SPLIT G-3 AND A G-2 ON THE LEFT SIDE THAT GROWS BACKWARDS..
THE MIDDLE BUCK IS A 125'' GROSS, MATCHING SPLIT G-2 10 POINTER I JUST HAD TO SHOOT WITH MY BOW. HE WAS JUST PLAIN NEAT. FED BETWEEN 20 AND 30 YARDS FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES-27 YARD SHOT(NOT VERY GOOD) AND ALLAMAKEE GRAND SLAM AND I WERE OFF TO TRACKING MARATHON SCHOOL.
THE DEER ON THE RIGHT WAS A BONUS DEER( NOT BONUS TAG)WHICH THE PARTY HUNTING RULES OF IA SLUG SEASON ALLOWED A HUNTING BUDDY TO TAG FOR ME. HE'LL GROSS IN THE LOW 130,S.
ANYWAY, A GOOD YEAR FOR SURE.JUST NOT WHAT I EXPECTED. I TRY TO STICK TO THE 150'' RULE.PASSED UP ABOUT 50 BUCK SHOTS BEFORE THE BOW KILL BUCK--JUST COULDN'T LET HIM GO ANOTHER YEAR.
