Monster IL Bowkill
 

No not mine,:D but I thought you all might like to see him.

Another big IL whitetail fell to a lucky archer this fall. This time a DNR agent named Mike Goetten killed a monster near Joliet. The massive buck is a basic 10 pointer with a double brow tine and a few stickers that gross scores 198 3/8” and nets 175 6/8 as a Typical Booner. (Green scores)

Bob Schnettgoecke who owns Schnettgoecke’s Taxidermy from Grafton, IL is mounting the buck for Mike. Here are a few pics of the beast the day the buck was mounted. The mount isn’t finished yet, but I couldn’t resist posting a few pics of this beautiful buck.




The buck is almost the size of this cow elk.






The cape on this buck beautiful as well.





Here you can get an idea of his mass, 7" bases

Thats a monster for sure. I bet money the DNR guy had been seeing this deer for a while. A local DNR employee killed a 190 plus buck on the local public land back in October........he'd been watching him all summer and early fall.

Congrats to Mike, hes a good guy and I'm sure he hunted hard for this big boy...rumor around here was that he also put down a 160 class up there too, but I haven't seen a picture or heard anything concrete on it yet.

RE: Monster IL Bowkill
