The first Iowa gun season has claimed one of the bucks I had on my hit list this year. I got a call around noon on Saturday from Chad Lathrop and he let me know that the drop tine buck I called Upright got shot on a groups opening drive on the farm just south of where I hunt.
This is a buck I only got a few pictures of throughout the season so I had a good feeling he was just passing through; but this buck did live close.
Here are the pictures I got of Upright.
Here is the picture of Upright after he was taken.
I wish the hunter that took this great buck would have taken a little better picture of this buck. This great stud deserves a little more than a picture like this. Upright has a lot more mass than I oringally thought and has a cool kicker off his drop tine that I could not see in the trail cam pictures.
There are plenty more bucks out there to kill, but Upright was one of those "once in a lifetime deer."
