RE: IL guys
I was out Saturday evening (Peoria cty) for the first time this season. Got a young doe at 6:15. 30 yard shot and she only went about 30-35 yards, Saw one other doe with her and that was it. By buddy only saw one doe which was probably the doe that was with mine since it ran off in his direction. I'm glad to see it has cooled off since then. It was 87 degrees when I shot her so we butchered her that night. I'll be out in Kane cty this weekend hunting a sleeper spot! Hopefully I'll get the big guy!

Macoupin Co,
I killed a nice mature doe on Wednesday 10/10/07 at 8:30 am. I was using my new silver flame broadheads and she was 20 yards exactly with a fawn without spots. It was 48 degrees when I went out and the cold had them moving. The fawn was playing around the doe and the doe was eating acorns. It was a very sweet scene as the fawn and the doe were licking each other. I figured this was a learning momement for the fawn as I shot the doe. I hit the off side elbow and did not get a pass thru. The doe ran out of sight, but I heard her moan 10 seconds later. She feel 7 steps away from my other set-up and it took me 30 minutes to find her as I did not have a blood trail, but I knew the shot was fatal as I saw the arrow sticking out and the sound of the arrow hitting bone. Did some grid searching and stumbled upon her. Nice size doe around the size of Hoyt82's doe...even in Macoupin Co.

Nice Doe Hoyt82....
I almost had a chance the other night at a doe but she just wouldn't clear into my shooting lane.I had some nice doe tenderloins today over at my buddies house. He grilled them and they were awsome.
Congrats!

RE: IL guys
I put a tape on my buck tonight. Gross scored 137 4/8", but 12 2/8" in deductions (ouch) will knock him out of P&Y by less than an inch. Bout what I thought when I looked at him. I'll get him mounted anyway.
The G-4 without a match cost 7"+ alone. Ha!
