GAMEHIDE Pro-Staffer downs Iowa Giant

Outstanding accomplishment to harvest this mature buck while filming! I’m looking forward to seeing this show!

I agree, giant buck. Anyone want to address the shot placement. All the pros preach the broadside shot. Looks to be like he shot this one from the front. I would take that shot if he was close but that is not the shot many pros would take. Some won’t even take that shot with a rifle.

Great looking Deer. looks like an extra point off the left side G2 for a subtraction, but super deer.

Or Spinner Dave that could be a weed/leaf in front of the deer.

Darn those subtractions Jack.

Looks like a Rage broadhead hole to me . I cannot fault him for making the shot when it counted ,but I have watched alot of big name pros who gotta have the broadside shot or nothing.

I’d say without hesitation, that’s a leaf. You can see the stem coming up to it. A Rage broadhead hole would at the very least have some pink in it.

Definitely a leaf.

Thats not a hole…just a leaf If that was a hole, looks to me like a fixed blade entrance than a mechanical

Ok I can see the stem but it still looks like the skin is tore. I will have to wait for to view the footage before I am sure . Hate to be stubborn but thats the way I see it.

Are you serious? I was wondering how you assumed it was an entrance wound and not a quartering away exit wound until I saw the zoomed in picture Lip offerered up.

No sign of blood either! I know they clean them up for pictures but the hair isn’t even matted down where they would’ve cleaned him up. Definately a leaf!

In this case I would say it’s a leaf. If it is a hole then it’s definetely an exit hole. That would make it a perfect quartering away shot! Jay is the best in the business and would never take a poor shot

I think people like to start rumors just because their jealous!!

I heard that last night…can’t wait to see it!

Just a reminder this show will air today!!!

This is some awesome footage! I will be tuned in!

What a show with some awesome footage Jay. Great story to go along with it. Chasing it for 3 years and never seeing it with his eyes, just cameras and sheds. Then hanging a set near the bucks bedroom a year earlier hoping for the opportunity. He got the right wind and his timing, persistence, and patience paid off BIG TIME.

Also to note the shot taken in question was a broadside shot and what one person thought was an entry hole turned out to be just a leaf after all.

Congrats on a buck of a lifetime Jay!

Yup just goes to show you that hard work will pay off. I was watching closely also to see where that shot was placed, I should have placed a bet on that.

Missed it!
