RE: Got My 2nd Illinois Buck W/ Pic's
hey lady...when you going to put me in one of your stands? I really am not that far of a drive to get there. Heck I drove an hour and a half to hunt this morning. I think I can make it your way in about the same!!
Congrats on another awesome trophy. If you keep shooting them as big as you are you will run out of wall space really fast.

Mitch;
Next year sign up for the Lottery drawing to Bowhunt Robert Allerton Park in Piatt County, MonticelloIllinois owned by the University of Illinois,it is a hunt for herd reduction.Our quota of deer to take this year from the park is 200 deer and we are currently at 116 deer taken so far, 13 of them being bucks if I remember correctly.
To participate in the park huntyou will have to put in 40 hours of volunteer work at the park during ( April through September ), pass a profiency Archery shooting test and attend a mandatory meeting, you must take a doe before you can take a buck and then take a 2nd doe there if you want to take a 2nd buck there.
I have friend whom comes down on weekends from Kankakee to particiapate in the hunt at the park, and he stays down here on the weekends and says it is way worth it!!!!
Do your homework on patterening the does preseason there and you can knock off a doe in the 1st couple of days of the hunt and then you can be selective about what buck you want to take
