Twenty-seven-year-old Nick Long of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, has killed several does since he took up bowhunting three years ago, but he wanted his first archery buck to be a bruiser. His patience—along with an aggressive game plan to use climbing stands to take the hunt straight to the deer—paid off when this 180-class monster with foot-long tines chased a doe past his stand Nov. 5.

Nick...what a awesome hunt and to experience it with your Dad what a memory to cherish for a lifetime, you have a awesome deer that is for sure ..but you also have a awesome Dad who has passed the true spirit down to you on the quest of the hunt. I am sure there will be a day when you tell your Grandchildren about the great hunt of 2012 how blessed you are....congratulations...and please tell your Dad, job well done
Way to stick it out for your bruiser congrats...LP
For sure a monster buck.. Lucky guy, real lucky
Good job Bud!
No doubt a very awesome animal. Bucks like that haunt my dreams. Take your hunting knife and cut the tongue out before the picks. A great buck (or any animal that one kills) deserves that much.
Awesome buck and i like the attitude of shooting doe's when the trigger finger gets itchy in this situation, most likely makes bucks like this rut harder in your area and evens your ratio's out for healthy deer like this to get this big. Congrats to you and your father on great deer.
Congrats on an awesome buck! Good to see the QDM paying off for you!
congrats nice buck
:)
awesome buck man. I wish we had deer like that in the south east.
nice buck....thats a monster
i am yet to shoot my first buck, but when i do, i dont want something like that because i was raised to think that every time you shoot a buck, it has to be larger than the last one and there aren't many more buck like that out there. it happened to my uncle. his first buck was a 16 pointer and his last.
WOW! What a nice buck! congrats
Wow that is one nice buck congrats!
