Deer & Deer Hunting contributor Matt Harper shot this incredible 11-pointer in Iowa last weekend.

"Normally, mid October does not produce great results on big bucks for me. This year, however, I got lucky. The few times I had been out, the food plots were mostly filled with does and young bucks, typical for this time of year. So, I decided to change tactics and hunt an oak bottom Saturday evening and it paid off. I have got trail camera pictures of this deer all summer and he was on the ‘hit list.’ I rough scored him and he ended up right at 170."

Way to go, Matt!
