Doubters need to brush up on the Democrat political machine in IL. Anything and everything is possible. Dems run the state period. Even the occasional times when a Repub thinks he does.

I say just look the other way and let him take care of business. Like you said, if a grass roots can't pull it off and if all billionaires are narcissistic and eccentric then it is what it is and let's get behind it. If people could stay focused and agree to back Trump with the condition...

The one good buck I know about so far just took a pretty good jump from 4.5 to 5.5.

You realize most the republicans in power hated Trump right? They don't want the country to win. They just want to win political power themselves.

Agree 160s. They rarely look bigger when velvet comes off, usually smaller. Nice buck!

I personally think a wild gobbler is worth 10 or 15 a shell, yes. I only shoot 1 a year if I'm fortunate.

Yeah those are equivalent of a 160"+ buck right?

Congrats! Have a double spur pic? Man both birds with 1.5" - that's awesome. Happy bday too.

Nice hunt! Congrats. You really got the decoy sprayed. Here's a pic this morning of my decoy upside down with my dead tom behind it. 2 other long beards were just brutal on my tom and decoy.

That's just for IA state, not federal. Democrats are trying hard to lower the exemptions. Inflate the land, increase the taxes, then reduce the exemptions... it's a perfect money thieving scheme.

October price for corn is 5.35 and beans 13 at our nearest river terminal at this moment.

To Skip and IBH83, you were both part of a couple world class bucks being taken the past couple years, and I believe they were both officially scored. Were they not entered, and if not, why? Just curious. Why officially score them and showcase them and not enter them? I get the aspect of...

But he craved the attention before and after. As stated, he did articles, endorsements, interviews, and had a "rompolawhitetails" website. The recluse argument is null and void.

Mitch was such a stone cold ethical killing machine he staged sheds on does...

Before I read any replies other than the original post... the Rompola buck is a fake!!! The dude is a total fraud. End of story. I feel sorry for the people who believe it or became believers recently, like the new FB group that is filled with newbs who also believe in Santa.

It's a good population management tool for the state (IL in my case). Probably keeps some guys employed and some grants and funds flowing.

Guys have wanted a big buck forever. Maybe it can be argued that cameras have ruined deer hunting. Get yourself a copy of Dawn of American Deer Hunting. In it are hundreds if not thousands of black and white pics of proud hunts and large bucks. It's not a new phenomenon.

And by the way, several days ago I "liked" your comment over on the Disheartening thread.

Sorry if I'm wrong. But then I don't totally get your gripe. The point I made was that the most popular deer hunting magazine from 31 years ago showed the "sport" had already changed in a big way. Skip was right, IMO.

The reason it went to pay was for guys like you, the entitled ones who never had to pay a penny, couldn't care less about farm owners property taxes even. Good on them for making you have a little skin in the game. I have friends who have always had the same mentality, "you don't pay for...
