Now I know why you guys left Montana for Iowa.  Wasn't because ya like cornfields and the summer weather.  The last couple of seasons have produced some nice deer for you both.

  I'd would bet you didn't drag him out by his antlers.  Would be a bummer to be standing there with a shed in each hand and the buck laying at your feet.

Congrats!!!
So don't wait until you retire to go hunting and fishing.  Don't even wait for your annual vacation.  Go at every opportunity.  Things that appear urgent at the moment may, in the long run, turn out to be far less so.

He called the deer "woody"? I thought that was a bird of some sort.

Congrats fellows. Sounds like you had one heck of a year.

We're not worthy!  We're not worthy! (to the deer)  :notworthy:    :notworthy:    :notworthy:  

But no doubt Gene and Barry most certainly are!  Congrats to the Wensel family, great deer and great story.   How can I get adopted into that family?  

Thanks guys for keeping dreams alive for us all!

What a wonderful looking animal.

Could you imagine how big he'd look if Too F. Short posed in the picture?   "[tunglaff]"  

Congratulations guys.
