Todder, One I can actually hunt.
Hey Todd,
Here's one I'll be hunting.
I was down at my lease again this past weekend in Schyuler Co. Il. hanging some more stands and moving some cameras around. I was really discouraged when I checked my cameras and only had does, fawns, raccoons, and coyotees on the cameras. No bucks!
I soon cheered up when me and my hunting partner took off from the farm and came around the corner from the property and looked out in the field and saw this guy feeding in the beans. Long g-2s, and a couple forks on the backs of them. If he comes by me, he's going to eat my arrow for breakfast. I guess you really can't get discouraged when you don't get anything good on your trail cameras. They won't show you every animal on your property.
What do you guys think he will score? I have a really good idea, and watched him thru binoculars for 10 minutes. Take a guess.
Sorry about the quality of the pictures, but it was starting to get dark and I tried to lighten the pictures. These are still off the video. Not as clear as I would like them to be, but at least I got him on video.

Walt,
Yeah, he's a good one. I was happy as all get out when I spotted him. I watched him through binos alot longer than I filmed him, but I was actually thinking in the 160'- 165" range. I'm hopeing I'm being conservative on the score. If I get the chance, and that's all I'm asking for on this guy. I hope I spoil his day!

Hey Thanks guys!!!! He will definetly make me sit through the whole day in hopes he comes skipping down my trail!!! 
Todder, I know exactly what you mean about hanging stands! A week ago when I was down, it was 94 degrees, then last weekend when I was down to my lease it was 20 degrees cooler, but I got into poisen oak, or ivy and it got me pretty good. Kevs on steroids right now. Hopefully I don't turn out like walt and Mark!
Ha, Ha!!!! Sorry guys, Just had to bring back a blast from the past!!! LOL!!!
