Any idea what he weighed? I remember seeing at least one or two Iowa bucks weighing over 300 back when I lived in Missouri and covered those two states. We did not weigh him. I have shot deer in Virginia that I have weighed on a scale at 175 pounds and 190 pounds dressed....these Iowa deer dwarf them. In Dec 2012 and Dec 2013 I killed the ones in the pictures below in the same area with the same outfitter. The outfitter who is pretty knowledgeable (you may recognize the name Judd Cooney) figured they were both about 245-250 dressed. This 2014 deer was every bit as large and the neck was huge...the picture of the deer in the sled is very deceiving.

Here is a pic off the deer they shot during the first Iowa shotgun season...grossed 191 and had 6" bases.

He's a great buck...he definitely would be getting a shoulder mount if I'd shot him ...
