While out scouting for pigs I enjoyed some stump shooting with Black Widow PMA II, 64", 49@32.

Just spent a week bowhunting SW Iowa...planning a return trip, since I didn't fill the tags this trip...2 of us hunted from monday evening thru sat evening, and saw 13 bucks, 120 class or better including one beast of a 10 pointer that had to be over 170"! So many does you can't count them all! I'm going back the last of october, rattlin horns in hand! Here's a couple of scenery pics for ya!

UK Bowman,  I told you the bugs were bad there. LOL.  Sorry you didn't get anything but it's a neat place to be.  We used to own land just outside the border (1000 yards outside) and I would walk in there to surf.  Great place, as close to being marooned on a deserted island as I've ever been.  It looks like the beach had just had a bad blowing storm with all that seaweed on shore.  Is that after the NorthEaster blew through?  No pics of the wild horses?

No Picks of the Horses... I was still hunting along the edge of a thicket and the horse blew at me. I almost crapped myself, it took me by such suprise.
I also saw some horses on the truck trip out. It was wild there, like you said, just like an island. It was cool to hunt somewhere different.

Thought I'd post some pics of my hunting ground behind my house.

This is the view on the way up the mountain.
 

Here's a different exposure

Here's the views from the stand I hunted in Sat. night.

East: looking back at the mountains which are washed out in the pic.

 

North: Where the doe came from too late.

 

South: where they were heading and where I saw three nice bucks opening evening.

What a great looking back yard you have there Talondale , I hope you have one of those big fellas walk under your stand soon , it looks like a sure fire spot and a down hill drag to your back porch (Handy)Its not quite so green down here at the moment we are in one of the country's longest droughts ever but the animals seem to cope and move about to suit.

Good luck

Well I surprised myself it actualy worked correctly,now I can tell the story;
   Got in the treestand well before daylight,after settling down I could hear the rustling of the leaves and the crunch of the footsteps of a decent sized deer.Since I was hunting over a fresh scrape,I figured he was coming to that.
    Although it was still a little too dark i could make out that he was of decent size.The excitement was great,about 45 minutes later a spike came into the area and was feeding 10 yds to my right.The shot was high and behind the shoulder alittle farther back than I wanted.
     The buck ran about 75 yds and piled up,It was good to follow a blood trail even a blind man could follow.The reward at the end of the ftrail ia always priceless ,just ask ole Nook.He also shot a nice buck that same day.I am so glad to be back in the woods again.My peace and serenity.Hope to share more of the moments again soon...............
