RE: My Buck Is Back
Thats a great buck and looks good on the wall beside those other nice bucks. Don't tell me you killed that buck near Champaign/Urbana.......anytime I drive through or near Champaign, it doesn't look as though there is hardly any place to hunt.....nothing but fields, fields, and more fields.

Cougar Mag;
No I killed the 190 5/8 inch buck about 25 miles from Champaign / Urbana just a touch North East of Monticello Illinois ......just north of I-72.
But you are correct about the hunting land around Urbana........... very limited and most of it is all locked down by friends or family that hunt it , but there are some really nice deer in the area......... But I was lucky enough to get permission on one piece of property here but it has yet to produce a buck the age and size I want to shoot.
But this matched set of sheds I mounted I did find near I-74 in Urbana.

That sure is one beautiful big buck you got there , I remember when you got it during the the bowhunting contest.
Truned out to be the largest scoring buck in the contest as well , you should be proud of yourself.
It sure is a beautiful mount , congrats again .
