Rockport, I'm pretty sure you hunt Pike and you shoot some nice deer. I bet its because you manage your deer pretty well. Always good to see. I've talked to some of the big hunting real estate companies in Illinois and they say that Pike is now the king of the 130ish bucks but no where near the 150s and above that used to roam there. They say the problem is the outfitters, every out of stater comes there to shoot the biggest deer of their life and 95% of them, a 130 is the biggest buck so they will shoot the first one that walks out so not as many bucks are growing beyond that.
