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.
