Default Official 2004/2005 IL harvest

Well guys, the time has come to put the broadheads away and break out the field points...so, let's see what you got! just post the tale of your trophy buck or your shooter doe and any pics if you have em. post the location, time of the hunt (both in hours and time of the year), your setup (camo flavor, treestand/ground blind, broadhead) and a little reanaction. id just like to see what people are getting and from where...

we got (my dad, but im posting so i say "we") 2 doe.

he was at midewin in Will County. both deer were taken out of zone 3. the first was last wednesday and was taken at about 4:30. he was using sidewinder mechanical broadheads with a reflex grizzley at about 63lbs. he was all mossy oaked up and about 12 feet up. he used no scents or lures.

we had been tracking the movements all season and just started to get em down. he had been tracking a 10, 8, and 6 pointer that always travelled together. the doe were just to make sure he got his two for the season.

the first doe was about 31 yards, and the second doe (taken last night) was about 5! 5 yards! thats right!

both deer topped out at about 130-140 cleaned. not bad. they were healthy, pretty deer. they tasted great too! (well, the first one at least...second ones still draining)

i have pics at home, so ill get em as soon as i get off work.

i look forward to hearing your stories!
