Default Illinois bucks are dropping bone!

Just last night I saw 5 bucks together. All had full racks. This afternoon I went out to take stands down and found two sides from two of those same bucks. Fresh blood on the bases.

I have been checking in my area northwest of chicago and only found a small fork antler possibly from last year seeing that it was already partially eaten and whiteish in color.

My girlfriend found this skull on her first ever shed hunt with me last weekend in northern Illinois. Took her 15 minutes.

A bit nibbled on as it was from last season, but I am having it restored for her, to do a european mount.
