While a 170s buck is a dang fine buck, when you're talking IL, WI,OH, KY, IA, Ka and such, that's just the start of "big" if you will for these areas. That's just for typicals. When talking big for non-typicals you usually start at around 200. That 198 from IL is a beauty and will be tough to beat for this year.
You left out Minnesota Greg, the state across the river from Wisconsin! Lol!
