This is my first post after joining up yesterday. I thought I'd share my best buck ever with this hunting forum. 15 scorable points, 24 1/2 inside spread, 7" droptine. Greenscore is 201 4/8th's gross. It was taken opening day of the Illinois gun season.....enjoy.

WOW! Great Buck and good hunting!

Welcome to the forum and Congrat's!

I havent even sen a mount like that let alolne a kill confirmed! Good work! I got my first buck this year and in comparison to yours, it was pitiful. Great deer! EJ

Here's a shot of the small 12 point I got with the bow. His rack fits inside the bigger one. I had a GREAT season!!!!!

Welcome to the forum NWILLHUNTER!!
Those are some monster deer, I too hunt illinois....
what county did you harvest those beasts in, I hunt Livingston myself and took a 148 B&C this year, but nothing like that monster at the top. Congrats again!

That second "small 12 point" is a once in a lifetime buck where I live. Some of the best hunters I know, hunted all their lives, and killed a ton of deer have nothing even close to that on their wall. Thats either abig deer to be proud of, or your gettin spoiled rotten!!!

two great bucks...congrats

Thanks for the kind words guys. I hunt in a secret location in the rolling hills of JoDaviess County. No high fences...fair chase only.Been hunting the same property since 1980. My wife tells me I might as well give it up now...I'll never kill anything like that again.

NWILLHUNTER - Congrats on both of those awesome bucks. I used to hunt JoDaviess County a few years back and there's definitely some monsters roaming the hills.

And if you're giving it up, I'm less than a 2 hour drive from you. Let me know when a good time to come check out my new hunting spot is.

Those are some really nice deer congrats and welcome to the forum

Id say u had a good year!!

Those are two nice IL brutes!
