Hello all,

If you look close you can see the drop tines.. these pics look like crap B/C he was close to a half mile away & my camera skills SUCK! lol Anyway, here are a couple to look at till I can get some of him a little closer!?

I will be down next weekend make sure my stand is ready, coffee by 4 am. OOPS i dont drink coffee make that
a diet rock star. Have the deer hauler ready by 7 am. All seriousness very nice buck good luck and let us know how you do.

Very nice buck. Musn't be very nocturnal. Is he on some ground that you can't hunt?????

OK, now that we've seen the pics of that wide monster, get closer and shoot that buck! I want to see close up shots of it!

Wow, he's a monster. It must be nice to live in Ill with huge bucks behind every tree! LOL

Seroiusly, good luck with getting him!

Iowabob85,
At present he is. I'm looking into getting permission to hunt this property.

Most of the hunters in my area like to hunt their 5-20 acres of timber, I like to hunt thick fence lines & hedge rows for these big bucks. During the rut almost all of the big bucks move out into the open fields & fence lines & hedges, there they can see good in all directions, bedding with their backs to the wind & watch down wind for predators. The trick is getting into position & waiting for one to walk by following a hot doe.. this is were a GOOD ghilie suit works well! I hunt with a short (brush bow) recurve & can crawl down the fence/hedge & get into position & wait. And NO, it's not that simple!
This buck (12 point w/split brow tines) & one (I haven't got pics of yet) bigger also use this hedge to travel, bed & breed. Just a killer location that is over looked by most!? I just love showing the local hunter these pics & hearing them ask.. "Man, where are you seeing all of these big bucks?" lol
I have given a couple local hunters/friends pictures of the bucks they have harvested. It's kind of cool, & they just love having a pic of their deer on the hoof!

Just thought I would add this.
It's an 11 point I killed hunting a hedge row, It was my first day out that year & I was only on stand for one & a half hours.
