Default Central Illinois Bucks

I thought I would share some of these pictures since I havent posted anything for months, and did not share some of last season sheds pics. I hope you all enjoy. Here is a picof my brother holding a set that we found 1/4 mile from my treestand. He scored 160 2/8.

Here is a pic of a dead buck found in a logjam withjust the spinal cord attached in early winter.....too bad, he carries the same genetics as the 183" 17 pointer that I shot last season.

I finally got video of the big 8 with the split, he is huge this year. Same frame but much added length on the G3s. I wishI could get a trail cam pic of him for scoring estimates. Seems that the deer have pulled the old vanish technique lately. Maybe the acorns are dropping...Good luck to everyone else this season.
