Hate to tell you but that's not the Illinois roadkill deer. Here's a picture of it and I thing it net scored down in the 170's because of the right forked G2. I also have the story of it but it's in a book at home.

I wasnt totally sure....but on the whitetails.com site....it did list this deer as being killed by an automobile in Illinois.....however...on a later page on whitetails.com.......i found one listed with the nickname of Illinois Roadkill Buck......here is a pic of that one.....any info on either would be great.
