My 2010 IL Public Land buck
 

Posted the picture in the Archery Success Thread and thought I would post the story here. Its a long one but some of you may like it. :party0005:

Awesome read! Way to overcome the obstacles of hunting Illinois public land by using a boat to gain access to distant points. Good to see a DIY hunter instead of paying the outfitter fees to hunt here. I would assume, much more gratifying hunt also. Congratulations on your wedding also!

Nice Story and great looking deer. That is something to be proud of, way to make it happen.

Great story and a very nice buck. Congrats.
