My Dad (Todd Trimble) is on the right with his 12 pointer, and I (Robert Drinkwater) his son on the left with my 13 pointer (my left hand is covering his drop tine). We are from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, but were hunting in Keosauqua, Iowa. I shot mine at 7:30 am on opening day of shotgun he shot his at about 11:30 am same day; Dec. 6, 2008. They were shot about 500 yards away from each other on public land.
