This is the photo they should have used. (Oops!)

RE: Lady Forge's 181" 9 pointer.
 

I hate it when they do that, butjust the same,Way to go Deb .

RE: Lady Forge's 181" 9 pointer.
 

what kind of bow is that in the second pic??

RE: Lady Forge's 181" 9 pointer.
 

That buck was a HOG!!!!

RE: Lady Forge's 181" 9 pointer.
 

I saw that pic in Outdoor IL and was wondering what was up with it. That didn't look like a 180" deer and I knew she had the bigger one.

RE: Lady Forge's 181" 9 pointer.
 

Both nice deer was the one that got posted an outfitter hunt too?

RE: Lady Forge's 181" 9 pointer.
 

Cool either way. She definately has my respect as a hunter, she can take me hunting anytime. Congrats LF!!

RE: Lady Forge's 181" 9 pointer.
 

congrats...thats huge

RE: Lady Forge's 181" 9 pointer.
 

WOW!!!

Not to mention Non-Typical ???
A Friend brought a copy of the magazine by to show it to me the other day since my subscription ran out... yep wrong pic.

Guess Ishould call Outdoors Illinois and tell them about the mistake they made.

None of the Bucks I shot in 2006 or 2007 were on outfitter hunts, one buck was taken on a private Ag farm and the other 2 were on a herd reduction bowhunt on University of Illinois owned park property.

RE: Lady Forge's 181" 9 pointer.
 

From what I hear, you are very fortunate to get opportunities like that in your home state. I understand it's harder for the residents to get on big bucks in IL than non-residents unless going through an outfitter.

Great job, congrats on both.

RE: Lady Forge's 181" 9 pointer.
 

what an awesome deer

RE: Lady Forge's 181" 9 pointer.
 

great buck!!

RE: Lady Forge's 181" 9 pointer.
 

Lady, wasn't meant as disrespectful, I remember (or thought I did [:o]) the story and there was something special about the land you were on.
But I'm also one that speaks up, with nothing against an outfiitted hunt, wish I could afford to go one one every year.

Like I said Both Great Deer!

RE: Lady Forge's 181" 9 pointer.
 

those deer are awesome

RE: Lady Forge's 181" 9 pointer.
 

nice buck

RE: Lady Forge's 181" 9 pointer.
 

Too bad they goofed but they are both magnificent animals!

RE: Lady Forge's 181" 9 pointer.
 

Sweet!! Congrats on the Hog!

Its fine I didnt take it that way... No Disrespect taken;)

I am a working stiff like most of us here andI actually can only afford my Guided bow hunts every year since the Outfitter is only a few hours from my home and the outfitter and his wife does a Womens Only Bowhunt in late October every year for a reduced price of $700.00., that includes everything for 3 to 4 days if the weather is bad one day he will let us Bowhunt an extra day to make up for it. They have been outfitters for I think its been 22 years now and are bowhunting only, they only guide 3 weeks a year and only take 8 hunters in camp at a time... but a few times I have had the hole place to myself
" Being the only hunter in camp sometimes really sucks ":D

RE: Lady Forge's 181" 9 pointer.
 

both nice bucks anyway, but that 180"er is a mack daddy :D

RE: Lady Forge's 181" 9 pointer.
 

Great deer. I'd be proud of them and I'm sure you are.

RE: Lady Forge's 181" 9 pointer.
 

I saw the same exact thing....LOL The new pic looks much more realistic. I was about to start measuring my bucks all over again...jk

RE: Lady Forge's 181" 9 pointer.

RE: Lady Forge's 181" 9 pointer.
 

Way to go Deb. Very nice deer.

RE: Lady Forge's 181" 9 pointer.
 

Awesomedeer.The base of antlers are the diameter of a beer can[:-].

RE: Lady Forge's 181" 9 pointer.
 

I'd call that a "Mac Daddy Freak Nasty" or a "Big Daddy Rabbit";)

RE: Lady Forge's 181" 9 pointer.
 

So which is your favorite bow... the Ross or the Guardian?

RE: Lady Forge's 181" 9 pointer.
 

Nice deer! I only hope tosee one that size and not shake myself out of the tree before getting a shot off. :D
