One of our new team members Derek Graham found one heck of a buck over the weekend while mushroom hunting on the family farm in Illinois. This is a buck they had seen several times this season - Derek's dad passed the buck at 20 yards with a bow (it'll be in next year's video), and they have the sheds to from last season. The buck gross-scored at 192" - and the second main-beam was over 22" long.
Basically - in a nut-shell, Keith is an outfitter and had some clients coming in the next day. He didn't feel right killing the buck when he had paying customers coming the next day. If that isn't ethics - I'm not sure what is!
After we found the buck dad was sick that he didn't take the shot, but who would have ever of known. I have to give dad a lot of credit for passing. The best thing is that I got to see himthe next day in the field thatI was hunting. He would have been huge next year. Here is a couple more pics that we took the other day.
Here was a pic of me trying to get a different angle for videoing
That takes greatstrength notto whack something but that's a way of doing buisness. I tell ya something. if I was a customer andI had seen that big monster I would be back. good managment!!
