Well I just got back and am bushed. Here is a pic of my buck and the story comes tomorrow. All I will say is that it was a hunt of a lifetime.





Its an 11 pointer that scored in the low 150's. It is by far the largest that I ever have taken and yes I am going to get it mounted.

W.O.W.!!!! That's GREAT!!!!!!! Congrats on a VERY SUCCESSFUL hunt! Looks like it was worth it!

Oh YES, compared to say an Alberta whitetail hunt, this hunt was dirt cheap. Most anything North of the border you better have your wallet ready.
The Iowa hunt and the Alberta hunt are comparable quality wise, but that's where it stops. Anything you buy in Canada your also paying for the FREE healthcare and that's what makes the difference in price.

I have several xbow's but of all of them the scorpyd for its longer distance shooting out to 40 yards seemed to work best. It is bulky and heavy and not what I would use in the swamps of wi. for sure. Scope was the tenpoint rangemaster. Arrow were BEE's with ramcats 100gr. I did not have a custom stock on it. Its the old story of the Shoemakers kids go without shoes story. I will have one on there someday.
Where I fell short was when I sighted it in I was in lighter clothing and held the bow tight to my cheek. I found that with heavy clothing and in the heat of the moment I was not holding the bow tight to me and being left handed made the arrow shoot to the right. My bad, but just had the God's of the hunt smiling down on me with that shot. Had perfect height but hit the femoral artery way right of the bull's eye.
