Congrats on the doe Andrew! Great story too. Sorry about that 8 pointer getting away but it sounds like he surely will be fine and maybe you'll meet him again!

Congrats on the buck Joejr. Always good to see the team get on the board!

Just got in from Illinois last night. What a season! I had 10 good shot opportunities at bucks between 110" and 130" but I was keyed in on a very tall and respectably wide 4x5 that I would estimate was in the high 160"s at least. I saw him 5 times while hunting and had him as close as 29 yards once but didn't have a clear shot. We had at least 7-8 different bucks seen on the property that were easily 150+ including one that would easily hit 180+. The best one we killed grossed 171"

I'm hoping I can get back for a late season bowhunt. We have turnip patches everywhere and the recent freezes should sweeten them up nicely.Maybe I can catch one of those big guys when they start flocking to the turnips.

Here's a picture of Jim with the big one
