141-Inch, 8-point
Mark had seen this ancient, 8 1/2-year old Iowa buck many times. In fact he thinks the buck was larger when he passed the deer a year or two previously. The buck was taken from an Ameristep ground blind at 17 yards, in a spot where the deer had been making frequent visits to a BioLogic Greenfield planted beside a corn field.
It was early pre-rut, on Oct. 4, and the air temperature dropped like a stone as a cold front swept in on a north wind. The temperature dropped from 90 degrees, to 50 degrees on the day of the hunt. The buck was arrowed in the afternoon, on a day when Drury figured deer would be on the move as weather conditions were ideal.
