Thanks for posting! Those are awesome.

The hunter lives about 40 miles from me. A local taxi has the antlers. They're something. It's been officially scored by Tim Walmsley, and nets higher than any other typical 8 or 9 on record. The guy farms, and is a gun hunter only. He and his dog went for a walk on Nov. 13 when that trail...

I live in Illinois too, and have often wondered the same.

Nice buck for sure, but did you drag him behind the 4 wheeler before those pics? He looks rough!

Sorry buckmaster, I just noticed your message. I live north of Bloomington-Normal

Kaare, You're not alone. We have a number of families over for dinner Saturday night. All of my mounts are in our finished basement, where all the kids play. One girl about 9 came running upstairs and exclaimed to all 14 adults "There's dead animals all over the walls down there!" I...

I just want to know what zoo you are taking these pics at! It looks like all the bucks on the first page are visiting the same corn pile, and they all look mature!

I want to go to Kansas! Did you find any of those sheds, or better yet, kill any of them?

Both good age class irregardless of what they score. Get after those sheds.

I'd definitely say it's the same buck. Just goes to show you one trail cam pic (especially a blurry one) doesn't give a guy a very good idea what a buck scores.

You know how to take photos. I would have guessed him a bunch more than 147.

Do you know if they made it?

scottonbuck, show us some pics! I have one question, how can you possibly trip over a 90+ inch shed (as Bill said he did) laying in a foodplot, especially when you're there to find it?!?!

Joe, I don't remember if you told us, but how old do you think your son's buck was?

Regardless of score, an 8 year old is a trophy in anyone's book! Good luck.

1. I won't get so wigged out about hunting a stand 2 or 3 days in a row if it's smokin' hot. I think sometimes I'm too careful, and miss good opportunities. 2. Although a ton of bucks get shot in Illinois during the first gun season right before Thanksgiving, I'm going to put some serious time...

Congrats Joe. After killing him, have you figured out if you have any past history with him? I know you didn't think so previously, but sometimes once you get the antlers in your hands, the pieces of the puzzle come together.

That first one should be a GIANT next year!

No doubt about it, Bill is a class act, and I appreciate that he shares the whole truth. When I started bowhunting as a kid, I had multiple sight pins, and would draw, and drop the bow down onto the deer as I aimed. The bottom pins are for the greatest distance. As soon as I had a pin on the...

If your luck is like mine, you'll find that 2" stub, but won't be able to find the 70 incher you really want to find. It happened to me a couple years ago on a buck just like this. I could hardly believe it when I spotted that base laying at the edge of the timber, but had another buck I...
