Don' t worry Legacy, having the fork horns illegal in PA is just going to make more 8' s for next year. Just wait and see. Within two years you will possibly have a chance at a nice buck like this one.

I am not into record books but think what he would score IF the other side was 5 also.
good Buck & yes-TYPICAL of Ill., Iowa & Ws. For us that have been born & raised in this area, over the years you will see several HUGE bucks & we take Bucks in the good to very good on a regular basis. You still have to work for them BUT the potential to running into a " BIG BOY" in our woods (any woods) is always there.
I passed on 2 fork horns Fri. evening at 15 yds. & 5 yards as I know " DADDY" is around. Had 2 MaMas & 3 of their fawns go by yesterday. I know I am not into record books thou I have several animals that would qualify-just want to see if I can do it for my own satisfaction in my old age.
Good luck to all this season & Congratulations on a great deer mshane.

RE: Northern Illinois Buck
MShane,
I' m pretty much straight east of you, in Kendall County. Hunting Kane this year too. Things are going well so far. I' ve got meat in the freezer, and a pair of velvet antlers on the wall from Wisconsin. Last weekend I took a doe in WI and earned my buck tag for the CWD Zone. Can' t wait for November!
I did some squirrel hunting at Castle Rock a couple months ago and saw a TON of deer in there. Not the most hunter-friendly habitat though. Hiking through a couple miles of multiflora rose wasn' t fun.
