Illinois sure knows how to grow them
 

Just checked my camera today and looky looky. If this doesnt get you fired up for season you better check for a pulse.

One more of him so yall can get a look at the other side.

Wow, that is really going to be a great buck from the looks of it. Keep us up to date for sure..

I just put my camera back out a few weeks ago. Need to go check it soon to see who has showed up so far..

Great buck.

that thing is huge. i hope to see one like him this year

Wow, what a beast, going to be a dandy this year!

Thats going to be a good buck this year. Good luck in your hunt for him.

Can't wait to see you sitting with him next fall.

Checked my camera again today and guess who is on there again.

That's really something to look forward to! Good luck.

Thats a nice buck, but I wouldn't post pics of a buck hitting the minerals in IL. DNR frowns on that. :D

Last I checked as long as you dont have any out during season its perfectly fine. I could be wrong but kinda hard to issue tickets on that one when just about any retail store that has a sporting goods department sells minerals and other attractants.

Well I just double checked on the whole mineral thing. In one part of the rules and regs it says it must be removed from area at least 10 days before hunting otherwise its considered baiting. In another portion it said no feeding of salt, mineral or grain is allowed. So I guess that answers that.

I'm seeing about 17 points in the most recent pic. Best part of that picture is it's during the day. Man I can't wait till october!

Good Luck at getting him, he is a stud.

:rock:What a hog! thanks for sharing. Good Luck!

Nice buck!! That'll get your heart pumping if you see him from the stand.

How close to Schuyler County are you?

great buck man good luck getting him

Gotta love gnarly non-typicals!

What a buck! I look forward to seeing the next set of pictures with you standing next to him! Good Luck!!!!!!!!!

Wish he were on my camera....
Good luck,
Chris

It used to be legal to feed deer in the off season, but a few years ago they made it illegal in Illinois to use bait, salt or minerals any time of the year because of CWD. Also, just because it's sold in the store here doesnt mean you wont get a ticket.

Very nice, Definate shooter.

Shane

very nice man

nice buck!!

He has deffinetly been regular. I get him once a week and thats it. He has been putting a little more height on his points since my first set of pictures. Any guesses on what he might score?

wow he`s a great looking buck, good luck can`t wait to see the post pic of you hanging on to that great rack!!

And that's why I'll be in Illinois at the end of October. What a fantastic animal!

those are some great bucks!!!!!

its 1 buck. not bucks. he is nice tho!

Very nice, and hes got another month of growing yet!

Best of luck going after him!
