Illinois 11 point down!!!!
 
Just wanted to share some pics of the buck I killed last evening here in Central, IL. He came into some light rattling and the grunt tube about 6:30. He came in like he was on a mission. He stuck his antlers in every tree on his way by and stopped 12 yards from me and started to make a scrape. I hit him a little high and spined him but it made the tracking job very easy. He is my biggest buck to date!!!! I had sit in the stand all evening and hadn't seen anything. I was starting to get discouraged and then he showed up. Just goes to show you they can come in at any time. He scored 131 1/4

Wow. That buck has an impressive rack, but that body looks huge.
Any idea on what he weighed? Congratulations on a great hunt.

No guys i didn't weigh him. I wish I had, his body was incredible. I would say at least 250 on hoof. 200 dressed.

Nice Buck Goes to show everyone you have to be hunting and not to get discouraged. Sometimes an extra few minutes when your mind is trying to tell you to leave is all it takes!!! Congrats

Great buck, gotta love the almighty spine shot. Short blood trail and you can admire the rack while your still in the treestand.
