Zman does it again!

Zman was at it again last night, this time in a different stand behind the house. Nice big doe who came in and presented a 12 yard shot and then ran about 100 yards and piled up right on the two-track that leads to the river. His brothers, who love to help track, could easily follow the blood trail in the snow. As of today, Zach has shot more deer than his Dad and Grandpa this year! From Steve DW.

Trifecta! - Big Buck Down

Keith finally got a shot at the Wide 9 on Tuesday night. This buck has been eluding us all season long. We have pictures from this September until this past Saturday and he finally made the mistake of coming out onto the food plot on Tuesday night. Rough scored as a 150' buck which is near the top of the biggest to come off the property yet. This completes the Trifecta of all 3 of us shooting bucks in one year. Here is a link to the video "Wide 9"

Following Up X 2

Jason shot this buck on the 2nd night of the season in Iowa.  Came out onto the food plot a little after 4 oclock and I watched him for a while as there were other deer coming out.  Another buck starting chasing does off the field so I took the shot.  Dropped him with a high lung shot on the edge of the bean field.  10 point, 20.5 wide, nice and heavy all the way out, gross scored 166.

2 more bucks

Congrats to Mike on his first hills buck. Mike took this nice seven point on Saturday night. The buck weighed 162 #'s dressed and had a 17" outside spread. At sixty yards it was a good lung shot and the buck fell 10 yards behind his blind.



Congrats to Alex VanderKolk. He was able to take this nice 7 point for his first buck on Tuesday night the 25th on the corn field under the powerlines. The shot was right in the vitals and despite several attempts to get up the buck dropped right in the field. He weighed 142 #'s and had an outside spread of 16 inches.
