    I think we had a pretty great morning! All three of these bucks were harvested within an hour and probably within 300-400 yards of eachother. Mine was the biggest with 13points and looking like a horse with antlers, my cousin's was second biggest with some MASSIVE horns and 10points, and my other cousin's was third...which on any ordinary day would have been the biggest of the weekend but a very nice 11pt. All in All a trio of GREAT Illinois Bucks.

    We felt like bigshots with all those antlers hanging out the trailer

    I don't know. That second buck is a beast. I think his might be bigger than yours. I know people like bucks with a bunch of points, but I like massive bucks like that one. Congrats. That will probably be hard to beat shooting 3 big bucks in one morning.

    haha. it was easy to tell in person..as far as the size of the deer goes, mine was biggest. You can tell in the picture where they're all hanging. It was also easy to tell by the amount of meat we got back from them...I had about 50lbs on him. His antlers may have been better, we didnt have a tape measure to score them but I plan on scoring them myself or having them scored when we get the mounts back.

    The one I shot was actually right behind a doe following her...it looked like he had been following her a while, he was a tired old buck.
