Woodline, thats a nice buck right there.... Congratulations!!!

Dude, that is a heck of a unique trophy, gun or bow.... Congratulations to you as well....
An update for you guys, it has been a while since I have been online but I have spent a good bit of time in the woods... I met up with SCRemington700 (Dave) at Rack and Wing in NW Illinois towards the end of October for a week of chasing them around. All in all the hunt was great, the weather didn't cooperate in the least but I saw deer everytime I was in the stand... There was one good buck that I had seen a few times but he was never in bow range... I passed a couple that would have been 125-135 hoping to get big boy but the cards didn't play out... Yet a wonderful hunt and a great group of guys, I will definitely find my way back to Illinois to hunt with Dan and his group!!!!!
I also hunted at home quite a bit, with about the same luck that I had in Illinois, seen some decent deer but nothing that I want to arrow just yet.... We still have a month or so of season at home and I will stick it out and might just get lucky!!!!
Best of luck to you guys and I hope you all get a good one!!!!
