Here is the only photo to leak out of Iowa so far:


 


The story is definitely going to be worth the wait.  It is utterly amazing to me that    this  buck has been on the decline for the past two season, losing both antler and body size.

WOW!  This is going to be good.  Congrats Mr. Wensel on another great buck.  And Steve you are correct.  I believe there are some pics of him on there website from previous years were he looks bigger.  Still amazed.

My respect never stops growing for the twins.  Your patience, determination and perseverance is legendary.  Not to mention all your willingness to give back to the individuals that follow your exploits in the deer woods and to the sport itself.  I am sure there are equal deer hunters out there, many of which most of us will never know but none are giving back to bowhunting like the two of you.  

I have only hunted and shot a particular deer a couple times - both of which were all within the same season and not nearly the caliber of the bucks you and Gene shoot.  The feeling of getting the buck I am after was epic and I cannot imagine the level of personal accomplishment felt after finally taking the deer after "years" of pusuit like Hurley and Woodie.  I am guessing there is a part of you that, although elated, is also somewhat "let down" with knowing it is over.  

I am truly grateful for the vicarious pleasure derived from your willingness to share all of your success, failure and acomplihments.  

Thank you again. Wensel Brothers" for sharing your hunting with us.  

I look forward to reading another great story of your multi year hunt for this magnificent animal.

One request:  After the story and photos of Hurley please share some pics of your "Next" target as I assume you have already been watching him through scout and video cams.  

Obviously a big congratulations to you.

Awwww man Uncle Gene and Uncle Barry.  Those bucks were just guppies.  I would have gave them at least another year!   :thumbsup:

The photo depicted is more than a leak. It is a major break in the main.

Congrats!!

Congrats on meeting Hurley!!! He is an awesome deer... It is awesome to have a relationship with a specific buck and even better to harvest him...(I think... I never get to finish it the way you do...)
