My brother-in-law is in the Army. He was in Georgia when I shot this buck and when he made it back home on leave I had already taken my deer to the taxidermist. So, I took him to the taxidermy shop to see him last night. We had a guy there measure my buck and he came up with 159 3/4 gross. This measurement is unofficial and my deer will have some deductions due to lack of symmetry. His left main beam is broken off making it about 5 in. shorter than the left, which is about 23 in.
Also of note is that during Iowa's second shotgun season there was another nice buck taken from the same place that I shot this one. I haven't seen it yet, but they say that even though this second buck has a narrow rack, he has three 12 in. tines on each main beam. Wow!
