So we're talking the right deer. The one I'm talking about is on the left side in the inside corner. Looks to be about a 20" spread and 9" brows. From the picture to me looks like a nice even 5x5 but the pic is a little blurry and can't see the right side of him. I really like him anyway lol

Here's one of my smaller Iowa deer. I'm waiting for a big one before I have it mounted. Had to throw this one in a ditch, tasted terrible.

To each his own money is to spend I make plenty and haven't mounted one since 2014

Thank you . Just intended to show my nephew a lifetime of buck kills. Some might chuckle at how few or the size of a lot of them . But they aren’t hunting my area nor my properties. We can shoot 1 bucks per year regardless of method I normally kill 2-6 does a year for last 10 years. All coming from zones that have unlimited or up to 6 does allowed to be taken. I killed 6 last 4 years using crop tags and 1 of my state tags .

Believe me I've shot plenty of small bucks and to this day on any given day any deer is a target if I'm looking for freezer meat, we're allowed 2 bucks per year and can shoot all the antlerless deer you want to buy tags for but one must be careful due to outbreaks of blue tongue that can put the hurts to a herd in a given area , happy hunting and fishing to you

Catch, I love my bucks and all that went into killing them. I respect meat hunters and feel meat hunters should respect the way I want to hunt? No? My cabin wall will soon be proudly displaying
"my" bucks, turkey, grouse, pheasants and ducks.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Really ? I just posted a pic of a nesting pair of red tails that are 10 yards out of my food plot. Some said I should dispatch them. BUT NO REAL nature is letting them raise their young and do what hawks do. Plus added bonus is when I check my cams I can watch them .

True enough and I feel each and every deer is trophy. Not all deer are trophies because of their size but the story that goes with it.

Lol. Ya that's a runt. If you shoot small deer like that you'll never shoot a big one. Love the junk.

Let’s see, 36 years worth of Bucks in Nevada would be a grand total of 5, maybe 6. That looks like a bunch of good memories!
