BBD Southern Style!

The gun opener in Iowa was a cold and wet one with temps in the high 20's, strong winds, and lots of freezing rain. There is a lot of clay on the property and they didn't know if they were going to be able to get out.

It must have been tough hunting in the rain and sleet, same weather we have had here only a day earlier in Iowa.

Things warmed up in a big way for one lucky hunter on the afternoon of the second day of the season. The new Ultimate Muzzleloader served its purpose making an extremely long shot (we'll confirm the range tomorrow, but its safe to say it was over 200 yds.) on a great buck.

12 points, 24.5" outside spread, 6" bases
183" Gross B&C Score.



Unbelievable we have trail camera pictures of almost every buck we have shot off out properties. These were taken in early November when Eric was bow hunting. When you get pictures like these it makes it easier to sit on the stand a little longer.
