Damn thats a tough break!!! Do you have pics of anymore bucks that you have your eye on!?!

Ya but he's only about 160"...don't know if that will help our Team or not

solo,

Yeah, right out the bathroom windows. Here's a better picture with full body. I'm thinking 3 1/2

Haha... maybe you should hold out for something bigger!!!!!!!

The only prob. with this deer....I've only seen him in evenings and he's like 400 yards out in the bean field and he lives in a different patch of woods owned by the U of I, but I do have permission to hunt the private that borders it, but it's basically a 10 yard wide fence row that travels the entire length of the U of I, which is maybe 1/4 mile....so basically it's a evening stand, hoping they jump the fence and come out into the field to eat....I thought about buying a deer decoy and maybe drawing them out with that????

It sounds like you may have a hard time competing with that Uof Ill land in the early season!! I think your Rut will be awesome though the way it sounds!!

Well on the West side of it, there is maybe a 150 acre field...3/4 of it is beans and the rest in corn....So once they pick it, the evenings should be awesome if I get the right wind for it. I thought about hunting a few rows in the corn on Oct 1...but that other place 2 hours from here (200 acres) is VERY TEMPTING!!!

Seth....Where did you get that TOPO map at?

I'm really going to make it out tonight!!!!!
