billygoat Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Here is a link to the Journal of my Father's and mine- 2005 Iowa gun hunt! Billygoat's hunting Journal All in all, a fantastic year! On Tuesday, this buck jumped out of a bed and decided to take off (during a 1 man push). At about 150 yards he stopped, broadside, and even though I questioned whether to take the shot- I knew the sabot's could fly true (no wind...standing deer). Needless to say, one shot was all I got! And it landed perfectly to the Lungs and back of heart! He went about 50 yards before falling over! 18 1/2" ISS, 1 1/2" eye-guards, a beautiful (Western looking) cape, and great character! HEY! The wife told me I could put 2 on the wall this year, I figured I better take her up on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billygoat Posted December 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 Re: 2005 Iowa Shotgun Buck all right guys: the deer goes to the taxidermist on Saturday- so how should I have the mount done? I have a pedestal (upright), several semi sneaks... no full sneaks.... what are your thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HitRmisS Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 Re: 2005 Iowa Shotgun Buck I prefer semi sneaks personally, but it depends on the spot where you are putting it as well, which im sure you already know just thought i'd throw that in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
