Some of you may remember that I posted a picture of a good 8 point that I shot with my bow up in Illinois last year. I was hunting some private land with some high school buddies who have family up there. On the same hunt that I arrowed the 8 point I saw a huge buck out in a soybean field and watched him for nearly an hour. Later on that year my friends called me to tell me that the guy who owns the land killed a monster during one of the late gun seasons up there. Well, it is the buck I saw and here it is.







Yeah, I'm going back again this year. You can bet your @$$ on that. Already have my tags.

he is definetely grown

Huge buck, sh!tty mount

Wow it looks like he gave that deer a make over!! I thought the mount looked nice from the pic. I thought the deer was ugly lying on the tail gate myself. By the way YELLOW PUNCH BUGGY, NO PUNCH BACK!!!!![:'(]

Great buck..........The taxidermist should be stuffed and mounted for doing that hack job on such a nice deer.


[:'(]



At least you got to watch him for an hour........better then nothing.

Wow! I don't know what is more surprising, the size of the deer or the poor quality of the mount.

I couldn't agree more. In fact we have urged the guy to let a guy we know have it and redo it.

Great buck! Horrible mount! [:'(] I don't think I have seen something so nastily done since my dad's first mount, and that guy cracked the skull plate and lost 4" to the width.

Nice rack with a pretty good size body, too.

What county, if you don't mind?

great buck...i think the pose the deer is in sucks...semi sneak would make it look alot better. i dont think the mount is that bad..sure, it doesnt look great, but i've seen worse..Awesome buck, buck of a lifetime right there
