He may not own it very long....

I don't blame anyone that sells a world class deer. We live in the times were deer heads talk $$$, meaning thieves will do anything. Just ask a 16 yr old kid who holds the IA state record NT, (until I am finished next year anyway). His rack was stolen from his home. If I had something that big, the only thing that would get stolen is a replica. jmho!


What a freaking bruiser...and Cornfed wants to come hunt IA with me??? I think we should go hunt with this guy!!!

I do agree about the taxi work....If I walked in and that was mine. I'd whip out my knife and cut my skull plate out and leave!!!!

Nope, as far as HUNTER killed buck I believe it's IOWA in #1 with it's 307 5/8" buck PLUS don't forget IL 304 3/8" Bryant Giant..... that just 3/8" of an inch under the Beatty buck isn't it????

Lets all not forget that it is MO that STILL hangs on to the ALL-TIME #1 slot at 333 7/8" B&C!

Ohio has been very hot lately but don't toot your horn to loud?

I would rather hunt IOWA than ANYWHERE and you are totally right...... I'm lookin' very forward to the season that I can finally draw an IA tag and hunt with ya bud!

That is an awesome buck there! He did Il proud I am sure[8D]

Here in Ohio we don't have the outfitters and heavy leasing much of the state is woodlots with mostly small acreage property owners. We don't have the large farms like you true midwest boys do. If you have 200 continuous acres in my area you have a nice chunck of property[&:]
