I was was on a stalk for a bigger buck when I came across this guy. His front leg was broken and had a hard time moving around. Being the second to last day of season along with his injury made him a great candidate for the Marlin 1895.

Congrats, rewarding for sure!
One my middle brother killed. Oldest brother spotted him the evening before about 10 yards from my stand. The next morning I pulled into the path to go to that stand and he was standing there and jumped into the beans. I waited until shooting light and walked down the path to see him 30 seconds before he bedded in the beans. Called my brother and he came out with the shotgun and walked the field until he jumped up. Finished him off in the swamp which is why he is so dirty
Some of the buckshot took the g-3 out and clipped the brow tine.

Up in the tree stand before shooting light , a doe and a fawn come across on a well used trail 15 yards in front of me. soon after a young buck grunting following them, shortly after that a much bigger buck is following grunting away, still before shooting light.
About an hour later I see a good buck working his way directly toward my tree. I assume that as soon as this buck hits that cross trail he will also follow it and give me a great broadside shot.
The buck crosses that trail and stops by the base of my tree. he gave me enough time to lean over draw back and pick out the right spot . After a quick 60 yard run he tips over and my Iowa public land quest came together after tons of hours scouting and many days up in trees !

Helped my 82 yr young father yesterday with his Idaho unit 11 deer tag. A velvet buck on Veterans day was his prize.

Tell your dad congrats! Based on the velvet, any issue with evidence of sex?
Leading theory is many of the mule deer in the area that are in velvet are survivors of last years ehd outbreak. I know of people that were picking up fresh mule deer sheds last October and November

Just got home from northern NM. Went one for two on public land.
my son got this on day two. I passed up some smaller bucks on the first three days and then didn’t see any bucks on the last two days.
south slopes were mostly bare but north facing had a lot of snow on them.
