Now I know why you guys left Montana for Iowa.  Wasn't because ya like cornfields and the summer weather.  The last couple of seasons have produced some nice deer for you both.

 I'd would bet you didn't drag him out by his antlers.  Would be a bummer to be standing there with a shed in each hand and the buck laying at your feet.

Congrats!!!

He called the deer "woody"? I thought that was a bird of some sort.

Congrats on the monster.

Atta boy, boys. Congrats and Happy New Year to you and yours.

Hey Gene and Barry!

Congrats on the whopper!  Gene, I hope you incorporated this story in your presentation at the United Bowhunters of PA Rendevous in feb.  I'll be the one taking notes!!!!

A Wensel Woodsmen, huh?  Go  figure!!!

Beautiful animal. Almost as much grey in that bucks face as in on Gene's hea...er...upper lip.    

Congrats fellows. Sounds like you had one heck of a year.

We're not worthy!  We're not worthy! (to the deer)            

But no doubt Gene and Barry most certainly are!  Congrats to the Wensel family, great deer and great story.   How can I get adopted into that family?  

Thanks guys for keeping dreams alive for us all!

Tremendous deer. Congratulations Gene.  John in N.S.

Whatta stud!    

     

Looks a lot like sticshooter's 20 pointer   :D  

Dang That's a good deer... and it sounds like you had one heck of a time.  

Congrats!  BIG CONGRATS!
