The Iowan Path
iowabow:
This time of year I would be happy to just see tracks in the snow. I just don't see a lot of tracks.
Got a text from neighbor on the other side of road about 100 yards with this picture.
iowabow:
This deer was 30 yards from my stand 20 days ago.
BowEd:

My neighbor Luke killed this small Iowa buck. This deer is not considered large in Iowa but it was huge to me. I helped him clean it an in tern I got the hide and head (these antlers are not considered big so he did not want them), back strap and leg sinew. Check out the lengh of this back strap. He Hunts about a 1/2 mile up the rode where the crop was corn so my fields with beans are covered with ice and not a deer to be found. Funny how these deer migrate to food source areas during deep cold periods. I have been knapping for the last two days and giving the woods a chance to thaw as this warm front moves in. Made this nice 8 inch blade but it is too thick so going to push it a little harder and try and thin it down tomorrow. I have to think on it a bit.
Going back at hunting in the evening.
