The long trip to Illinois paid off this year

I got a nice 8 the first afternoon, he came by me chasing a doe and i couldn't stand it so he felt a slick trick. So then i had a whole week to just ride around and scout and found a dandy 10 point and set my bro in law up on him and he came by at 15 yards.

where abouts in IL? Was it a DIY hunt or was you at an outfitter?

dblunged · 11-21-2007, 01:41 PM

Public land, haven't put a tape on the either yet what you think the 10 will score?

cool that you got them on public land. where at? limited public land in IL unfortunately causes a lot of tension when out of state hunters are forced to lease a lot of ground up in order to hunt here. nice bucks!!

Very nice deer, I would say 150's gross. Congrats on a good hunt. I get the same feeling when I help guys harvest good deer as if I had shot them.
