Member Posts: 6,338 ✭✭✭✭
Just got him back from the taxidermist.
I think he turned out great.
Shot him @ 20 yds with a knight .45 cal. 225 grain aero tip Power belt with 3 50 grain pellets of 777.
He has a broken g-2 and g-1 on same side, (his right).
I scored him at 175 inches gross. 16 measurable points. 6x6 frame.
Shot him dec. 21st, Iowa's 2nd day of late muzzle loader season.

What a whopper deer!
It would take 3 of our Georgia deer to weigh that much.
Corn-fed, I bet he will taste good.
With his 2 broken tines, he also had a broken rib. If you look at his rib cage, by my neighbors armpit, (the guy in orange), you can see a baseball sized lump. Was a big ball of hard fatlike stuff that was full of splintered rib. He also had a big ball of infection in his right rear leg. Assuming one of two things. He either got hit by a vehicle, or got his butt whooped by a bigger buck.
The second rut was on when I shot him. Bucks were working does and doe fawns pretty hard at the time.
