    I am posting this picture trying to find out more info on a big buck that may have been harvested recently in Lake, or Cook Counties in Illinois. I have cropped the image to remove faces in case someone may not want this posted. I have no more info than a text saying "big buck shot in Illinois". The city is listed, and overlaps in two counties looking at a map, so not sure to an exact local. Hope the info is legit. Anyone seen any pics of this buck yet. It looks to be a true GIANT shot with a bow.

    Nice call. Seems to be the same buck.

    Wonder why somebody would text you and claim that deer to be theirs...?

    Yeah, I knew something was up after seeing a Wisconsin tag on a deer that was supposedly shot in Illinois. Thank you for the info.
