Good luck guys!  My truck is pointed toward Iowa this morning as well.  I wonder if those big Iowa bucks know how many PBSers are headed their way with bad intentions.    :bigsmyl:

Best of luck Jeff, Joe and Jeff.
The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

I am in my way to Whitetail Mecca, but had to stop by in Ohio to scout a little and hang a few stands in preparation for the upcoming PBS membership hunt that I am hosting there in a few weeks.  I love being in the Midwest in November!  Hunting tonight with a "grizzled" PBSer that you all might know..

Best of luck guys. I had the opportunity to be there but I was supposed to be in a wedding out west. Well that wedding fell through! Damn the luck! I've got the points I need for Iowa so maybe next year!

I had a good one get by me this morning. He was following a doe 20 yds. behind her. Kind of hard to explain but I would have had to hold my bow perfectly vertical in order to shoot between the "V" of two trees and not bump my lower limb out of the back of my stand. He was broadside at about 26-27 yds. but I just didn't feel positive on it so I held off. He didn't have a clue I was there so maybe I'll get another chance later. What a great buck though. Basic 5x5 plus some stickers. A really chocolate colored rack with a lot of character. Some of his tines weren't round but kind of triangular shaped if you know what I mean. A beautiful, fully mature Iowa stud. The thing dreams and memories are made of!  bw

Way cool experience Barry. I just got home from IA, but hunted this morning and saw 6 different bucks and i only hunted an hour and a half. Saw three nice ones last night.

Good luck to you guys. I hope you have a good hunt.

We're having a great hunt.  First day was awesome with one of us picking great morning and evening stands and seeing up to 15 bucks (hard to keep count sometimes) and passing up some dandies because of a silly vow he had made years ago.  He said it was his best day of deer hunting ever!  Another of us rattled and grunted in a big buck that first morning but mmmmisssssed him.....

I just saw my tenth buck of the day and am wondering why oh why did I ever move away from the Midwest?????  The bucks are very active and responding well to rattling and grunting, and seem to be just days away from a full-out rut frenzy .

I won't name names (starts with a J) but one of us tried to hunt without his bow one morning......
Only saw 8 bucks so far today, looking for a better spot for the afternoon    :rolleyes:
