Both nice bucks....That JoDaviess County buck is beyond impressive!!! A guy doesn't get to see that kind of tine length very often.

I get the feeling he has/had more mass than the pic would seem to show in the second photo. With that kind of length, at that time of year, and with that heavy of a body those tines would be all broke up if he was even a little spindley. He would appear not to be one of those sterile monsters either. Look at his posture in that second photo...Let's hope his seed is spread to the four corners of the world!!!

Thanks for sharing...
