I was hunting in IL yesterday and found a shed from last year buried in the leaves.




Then I visited my friend Bob's taxi shop.
This is the buck I have the sheds from last year. I also saw him in a bean field this summer on the farm I hunt. He was killed across the road by a neighbor. Scord 188+ gross.








He will soon be mounting this pair of locked bucks. The big guyscored 192+ gross with 2 tines over 15" long and the smaller one is in the 140's. They were killed during shotgun season in Calhoun County, IL. Both were still alive

Man those were some sweet racks

I say this often,I HATE NY!!!!

well hey in georgia where i live a deer scoring 70-80 is average so a buck over 100 is huge.

That's it! I moving to Missouri!!!!!!

NOOOO not Missouri, those bucks are from Illinois.

Seeing bucks that big are almost like seeing a completely different species of critter than the ones I am used to seeing and hunting after.

Ditto w/ Massachusetts!

That's it! I'm moving to Illinois!!!!

You know, I don't think I could in good conscience shoot a buck that was locked up with another. Maybe get up close with a gunand shoot a horn off or something so they could get free. I saw on a video or a TV show a couple years ago where a guy separated two big bucks by sawing off a horn with a chain saw. I mean, how much of a hunt or skill is involved in shooting a critter that's the same as tied up.
