Greg, Great lookin bucks. Congrats!!!! Where is Union Co. from where I hunt in Frankiln Co. Is it in that general area? East ofthe city of Benton/Franklin Co.right? I looked at some property in Hamilton I believe also. I have also hunted in Pope Co. with an outfitter down by Galconda. After that first hunt I said I would always come back. What an experiance.

Greg/MO what broad heads are you using, hole looks nasty. Rich

RE: Hunting out of state???
 

RWK, that hole was made by a Cabela's Lazerstrike I was trying out which is basically a knock-off of Rocket Aerohead's Slammerhead... the EXACT same dimensions, weight, Pathfinder point,everything -- just $8 cheaper or something like that. They've GOT to be paying a royalty to be able to make it, or either Rocket is making it for them and allowing them to private-label it.

And you're right, it opened up an awesome hole; blood was just gushing as he bolted and ran right past my tree. I could see it just pumping out of him as he ran by. Of course, it helps when you perfectly center their heart! ;)

Little dinks my butt! Those are "dinks" that any whitetail hunter would be proud of and few ever get.:)










;)


[:-]If you won't tell anyone, these two came from around that neck of the woods...




Like I said, little dinks like this is all that's around there.

Greg/Mo:

Ouch!! After seeing those pictures, I'm going to go nuts waiting for November. I'm taking my 2003 Bowtech Extreme VFT with me and my son's Bowtech as a backup.

D Man 1,

It is near the Shawnee Forest I believe, I'll be sure to keep you informed. I so excited, especially after Greg's picture, I don't know if I can contain myself.[8D]

RE: Hunting out of state???
 

Greg,

BTW, do you know what those two bucks scored?

Also, my son asks how do you become a Bowtech Pro Staffer? He says he's interested!!!

RE: Hunting out of state???
 

formula,

The top buck went a touch over 130 and the bottom was 162 5/8.

I believe there's a link on www.bowtecharchery.com to apply; he can read up on what BowTech is looking for there. Good luck.

RE: Hunting out of state???
 

That bottom one has alien blood or something comming from its nose and mouth. It's yellow.[:-]

RE: Hunting out of state???
 

Greg:

I know about that 'alien' blood. As you know every night the mother ship comes down to earth, drops off all the Whitetails and picks them up again at dawn. Occasionly, the ship gets here a little early or leaves a little late, so we get a few sightings as a result. This is how we answer the question that inevitably always gets asked around hunting camp every year (Where have all the deer gone?). Perhaps that explains the alien appearance of that green blood. It could happen!!![8D]

I'll write that off as a great 'quartering' shot, and I'm serious when I say that. After all, it must have been a great shot, you're posing with it aren't you.

Good hunting! I'll be doing a Union County, IL scouting trip sometime around late August.

RE: Hunting out of state???
 

Dropped dead in his tracks 35 yards after the shot sliced through him, so -- yeah, I'd say it worked. ;)
