Congratulations Chad! What a bruiser. I have a question though. And this is not to take away from such a great animal and your percervearance. But was the meat still good after such a long period? Just curious, incase this ever happens to me. Is it ok to eat?

Just curious.  If you had to guess, did he die that evening or early the next day or on some other day in between finding him?  I've had a couple interesting recoveries on deer hit a hair too far forward and intersted on what you feel happened here.

Great deer and I'm glad you found it.  The trail cam pics are an add'l bonus.  Good job.

Chad,
 What a fine Whitetail, I can't imagine trying to hold it together with a buck like that, but would sure love to give it a go. Congrats brother !

Congratulations, that is one nice buck!

I hadn’t thought of it before but unfortunately the buck fever must come with the name.   ;)
The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

Hey Chad, if I draw an Iowa tag and use a Lost Creek 48# Life Ender, you think there's another one like that out there?

Ron, if you draw a tag. I would be more than glad to take you on a hunt. There is still some nice buck left, and who knows what will be in the woods next year.
