Thanks everyone. I just was in the right place at the right time, and didn't screw it up..!
Oh.. and Germ... I would've been glad to 'spoon' behind the monster you shot.[8D]

Oh Justin.. You so spoil me you do.
But I have to agree, the lessons I am taught each day in this forum and in the woods helped me to bag my 2 Illinois bucks. Success in the whitetail woods is what you set your own goals for. I set out for two mature bucks this Autumn, and put in the time and energy to accomplish that goal. I succeeded, and not because I am a "great" hunter, but rather I always consider myself a student of bowhunting. I take the time to constantly read about deer, listen to other hunters, observe in the stand, and study all the aspects of deer behavior. And that, that has made all the difference.
And it helps that I live in Illinois
