i was at Pontiac prison today for a service call and talking to some people their. one of the corrections officers shot a HUGE buck during the second season in Hardin county. I saw his pictures and it is unbelievable. He said buckmasters had already sent a scorer out to see it and they gave it an unofficial score of 254 inches, with 24 scoreable points. He said that the guy from bm told him to get a lawyer and dont sign away right to anyone yet. this buck was amazing. be watching for this one in the deer magazines. im not really a trophy hunter so im not sure if this is a record or not, but it sure is beautiful
buck blaster, you are right it is 29 points, i had been mistaken. dont recall his name, but i was back at the prison today and have a photo copy of the picture with him and the buck in the back of a pickup truck........awesome buck. i will be back there tomorrow and will get his name again
Can't wait to see some pics. What an accomplishment to harvest that size of deer during second season. I'm happy just seeing a couple does the second go around let alone a world class buck. Congrats to Mr Austin!
george_s, Thank you for getting his name. I know a guard there whose name is Scott Teske. I thought it might have been him since he hunts Hardin county as well. I can't wait until he decides to release some pics, but I understand why he is being careful to do everything right.
Illinois record buck?!!?
