Wife's First BP Buck

[Critter Getter]

Although my wife has taken a couple of does with her bow and one yearling with a BP rifle in the last few years since she took up hunting, this is her first antlered buck. We spotted him a month ago running across our pasture but hadn't seen him since until yesterday afternoon. My wife Lorrie and I were hunting stands in the riverbottom of my farm when he come along and bedded down within 40 yards of her. After about half an hour he got up and walked within 20 yards of her. The .45 caliber TC Seneca sent her 190 grain maxi hunter into the boiler room and dropped him where he stood!! Haven't weighed him yet but he is a pig of a deer!! I have a doe tag to try and fill yet and couldn't be more happy for Lorrie than I am now. BTW....... This is her first time out for the year!!!! Greg.

Holy man! That's a dandy. Tell that lady congratulations for me. And congrates to you for a wife that hunts with you :thumbsup:

That's a dandy buck! My congratulations to her. :hatsoff:

I'd give a prime body part to be able to hunt that Iowa early muzzleloader season, but alas, non-residents are not allowed, even for the $600+ price tag that would come with it. I have been tempted to apply for the late Muzzleloader season in January though. I've read about some real slugs being taken then when they are hitting fields trying to build back some of the body weight they lost in the rut.

Many years ago I lived not far from you in Melbourne, IA on the other side of Des Moines.
